My second attempt in my home garden is to grow some tomatoes. Less then a week ago, I went and bought some seeds and a hanging basket. Based on my herb garden and what I've read about growing tomatoes, I expected the tomato plants to take a week or more to germinate. Not so. I saw the sprout in about 3 or 4 days. The picture below was taken this morning, about 5 days after I planted the seed. I'm going to let it sit in this little cup in my window sil for maybe another week, then I'll move it to the basket outside.

I'm a little worried that I won't be able to keep in moist enough outside, so I'm thinking I'll design some kind of automatic hydration system. Ha... this is probably over kill, but it'll be fun over kill. That's all that really matters.
At the rate this seed has been growing, I might have tomatoes ready to go by the end of June, assuming I don't kill it. I'm expecting the end of July though. I can be patient. But now I have to think of some other vegtables to grow.....
