Comment by Wanda P on September 1, 2010 at 3:37pm: Hi ladys, i wish i had a green house as nothing really survives the hot house and then of coarse once they pop thre the oils u need to transplant them and i seem to kill everything in the house, so we get plants pretty cheap from the nursery. well karl had the brite idea to plant 2 of the cherry tomato plants and its huge, despite to my horror, i found it on the ground it had fallen off the table lol, and it was so heavy as i watered it allot, i dragged it and tied it to the fence. weather is getting so cold so fast i doubt i will get much fruit from it this year. But my pepper plant is amazing i will take a shot of it, as we were shocked at how much one plant can produce. i will takes some shots.. off to do chores and thanks so much for joining. i wish i could change the back ground to a giant flower lol!!! all my love to you flower goddesses. oh and weeds yes i have those too. its never ending story xxoo wanda

Comment by Gladys Rydbom on September 1, 2010 at 2:03pm: Hi, Thanks for bringing the garden group to pet brags. Wow your tomato plant is big, ours did not do well this year we bought plants and next year will start them from seed again. They do much better when I start them from seed. The weather has not been the greatest hope we have better weather next year as we love home grown tomatoes, Yumm. Thanks for all the great information! Gladys
