Yellow Leaves?

So, the tomato plants have some yellow leaves on the bottom! That are falling off!!! The health of the over all plant is good though, so not a huge concern. Here is a picture: If a plant gets sunburned (which it can from indoor lighting as well as very hot direct sunlight) sometimes the first […]

New Home for Tomatoes

My tomatoes are outgrowing their spot on the shelf: So I had to move them to a new place! I am scared to put them on the ground because I have 3 cats who would probably love to dig in the dirt they are planted in and see how they taste just for the fun […]

Seedlings looking more like plants

My seedlings for the Cilantro, Basil and Tomatoes have been up for a few weeks now and doing great! The Cilantro is a bit unruly, so I have it staked with the first thing I grabbed which was a pencil and a paint brush! The tomatoes will need to be separated at some point but […]
