Cravings...
So I just watched Iron Chef tomato challenge and I have decided that I CANNOT go through another summer without homegrown tomatoes.
Store bought ones just don't cut it. And even if we had a decent Farmer's Market, what's available there is a far cry from a warm, sun-ripe tomato from your backyard.
I grew some a few years ago in an Earthbox and the two plants I had in there totally took over our porch. I had tomatoes every day and made salsa all the time.
Unfortunately, the amazing Earthbox cracked in our move. It would have been of little use here anyway, as nowhere on our patio gets full sun.
As I see it, I only have two options: get another Earthbox and beg somebody to let me put it in their yard, or place an ad on Craiglist and beg someone to let me buy tomatoes from their garden.
Fortunately I've got a few more months to figure it out.
