It is pretty much official.. I don’t have green fingers. I want to have, but I just don’t. Perhaps it is that I am crazy busy, but it is most likely that I am just forgetful. Plants tend to die with me. I forget about them, and they die of lack of water. I don’t forget about them, and they die from too much water. Thankfully Danika (my wife) is far better with all of these aspects (plants and memory, she is still ridiculously busy!), so we have decided to try and grow some Tomatoes this year.

A trip to Ballard farmers markets yielded the goods. All organic Brandy Wine (Heirloom) and Stupice tomatoes, along with some worm tea, to feed the little blighters. They have been growing for a month or so now, and we have 5 green tomatoes on them. Course, if this ridiculous Seattle summer continues, I am sure we will get nothing more than that. Anyhow, we think they are doing rather well. We have a decent south facing wall, and when the sun is out, they get their fair share.

Any suggestions on growing tomatoes would be most useful.. We honestly don’t have much of a clue!!
