Greg and I are trying to grow tomatoes this year. Neither of us have tested our green thumb, but if genetics has anything to do with it, there is not much coming from me. I would say sorry to my mom but she knows she cant grow anything. Greg's dad has a garden every year, so lets hope some of his green thumb got passed on to Greg. We are trying out the Topsy Turvey, which we have heard good things about, and then we have four other plants growing in a pot. We have been debating on whether or not to plant anything this year for a long time. We finally decided we might as well try, so we got a late start but we already have lots of buds and a flower!! Who knows if we will produce any tomatoes, but if we do I am going to grow a bigger variety of things next year. It has been kind of fun getting everything ready and now watching them grow. Wish us luck! (and if anyone has any tips feel free to leave a comment)

The tomatoes like lots of heat/sun and not tons of water. Or I should say, don't water them every day but when you do water them give them a lot at once. And water towards the bottom of the plant, not on their leaves. If you remember that they are easy to grow!
Oooh, the topsy turvey? I've only seen the informercials, so you'll have to let us all know how it really works. That's awesome you'll have your own little patio garden.
I'm trying my first garden this year too. I don't come from a family of gardeners either, so I'm hoping SOMETHING grows. :)
Good luck. Let us know how it goes!
I don't know how I feel about you getting a green thumb. If it works, I will probably hate you. But I will help you make chilli sauce with them. I'm good at that!!
That's hilarious, my friend just did the topsy turvy thing this year and has like a GAZILLION tomatoes! Wish we were there to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
