Me and my girlfriend both picked up a tomato kit for sale at K-Mart last year complete that came with a few seeds and ceramic pot. After adding the soil to the pot, I planted several of the seeds although the instructions stated to plant only one. My girl Ironellys on the other hand planted a tomato forest and sprinkled more seeds in the pot than I can count. I soon learned found out that tomatoes need their root space to grow well and so to promote growth, I ended up cutting down a few of the extra tomato plants. My mini tomato plant started to bear green tomatoes and it took about a week for them to redden. I successfully mustered up the courage and ate some of my harvest without any ill effects which I'm still proud of. Its pretty amazing how I basically grew my own food which is why I'm looking to grow some more veggies this winter.
