This is the first time I have ever tried to grow anything. I started with a small starter kit from dollar general. lol. I got two plants out of it. (for me i was shocked I got anything out of it, lol) I have watched it bloom and get big and have become very proud of my efforts. My one plant has become taller than I am at 5'3" which i was very surprised at, my neighbors are lower to the ground and bushier. I had a cage around mine but now my neighbor helped put metal stakes and twine around it to help hold it up and keep the top which has become quite heavy from breaking off. I am very excited to say that just a few days ago some of the very first tomatoes to bloom have now begun to ripen and turn. My 6 yo daughter noticed first and got excited. I did this so I could see if i could grow something. Now that I see it is possible even under my care i plan on starting other plants. Hopefully herbs and definitely more tomatoes next year. Mine are Big cherry tomatoes. Can't wait to try them.
