Indoor Tomatoes Have Fruit!

My indoor tomatoes have fruit on them! I had to pollinate them myself when they had blossoms. I have never done this before but I must have done it right because the tomatoes came. 🙂 I did it with a spoon so I could catch the pollen and redistribute it to the other blossoms without […]

Chives Out of Control

Hi everyone, I figured this needs it’s own post so that people can search for it. 🙂 I have a chive plant (perennial) that I have had for about 4 years now. I love chives in dips and potatoes, but in a flower garden I am reconsidering my choice! Chives can send out runners and […]

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 […]
