Cherry Tomato Plant

The cherry tomato seeds from the Master Gardener class which produced one plant has grown to six feet tall and produced about a dozen tomatoes thus far. They are delicious, but with tough skins. I have enjoyed my container plants.

Hope Station parsley is doing well and tastes even better!

I have so much healthy sage! I need to consider drying it and either freezing it or bottling it. I have to do some research as far as which would be best to preserve the flavor.

Hope Station cherry tomato plant...growing tall! I need to figure out a better anchor for the bamboo pole. It will not stay erect.

The thyme is ready for harvesting as well.

Cherry Tomato Container Plant

Tonight, I was telling the folks at the Hope Station Master Gardener's Class that my Cherry Tomato plant was a bit small...then I came home and looked at it. Huh! It grew about three inches in two days!! I am really enjoying my container plants. I will stake it tomorrow with the bamboo pole them gave us two months ago. Fun!

April Master Gardener Class

The April Master Gardeners' Class at Hope Station was about planting seedlings. They gave us basil, parsley, lettuce, oregano, three cherry tomato seeds and four Beef Steak tomato seeds. Ann also handed out a huge bucket with two bags of starter soil, a bamboo pole for staking the tomato plant, two terra cotta pots and a Leo's Dairy ice cream container. All the gifts are great! And the Leo's Dairy pot is perfect for midsize plants. My tomato plants are getting so big that I think I have to go eat many pints of Leo's so I can get the pots. :)
