| Big Boy tomato |
My little tomato patch is coming along quite nicely, even if I do say so myself (and I do) :) While I did not take pictures of how I planted them about 6 weeks ago (you can find a really nice video here that is way better than what I would have done), I do have pictures of, not only the plants which are almost shoulder high to me, and I'm almost 6' tall, but an actual TOMATO!! Dare I mention that today is April 23rd? APRIL!

So far, these buckets are perfect. Because we have so much shade, I can move them around to get more sun. Something I just couldn't do with a conventional garden. Also, see the white PVC pipe sticking out? That's how I water them. There is a reservoir in the bottom bucket that wicks water up to the roots. Boy do they drink alot of water!

| See the baby cherry tomatoes?? |
I can't believe I already have a whole cluster of baby cherry tomatoes growing! Don't tell the chickens, I don't think they have noticed yet.

And one baby Big Boy tomato (the fuzzy thing in the middle of that picture!) about the size of a golf ball. I am beyond excited with my little bucket system. My herb garden is also growing great. I used some basil last week, and am going to use more on Wednesday when I make baked spaghetti.

I am so excited to start getting fresh produce from the little mobile garden. I feel a caprese salad and some fresh salsa in my near future here in Podunk!
