I say tomato...

[podling]

So. The tomato plants are getting biggish (unlike the soybeans, which are dead dead dead from rain issues). Big enough that they need to move into adult pots. But, even having given more than half of them away, I still have too many. So anyone in the area (and by area, I mean an hour and a half drive, not the weird NJ thing of "it might take me more than 15 minutes to get there, thus out of my area"), if you want one, let me know, and I'll probably bring it to where you are. You will need to put it either into a bigger pot or into the ground. Please!!! They need homes, people!!! Adopt!!!

I told you I want one! And I still have books for you.

[podling]

Well, yours has to be fostered here, so it's not up for grabs yet. Heh.

Dave and I will take one!

[podling]

I will bring it today. I'll call later to see when you want me, baybeee!!!

I would love to, but my heart is set on little tomato plants of my own.

And I live a little more than an hour and a half from NJ.

One day you'll have some of your own, I'm sure. Don't give up hope! Hee. You make a good point on the distance thing though, truly.

I'm sure we can make a little space in our garden for a lost little tomato plant.

[podling]

Okay. Tomorrow night or Monday perhaps, we'll work it out later. Have fun this weekend... ;)

I'd love to take one off your hands.

Yay! Another good set of parents found! Hmmn. I can't come to game night though (which would have been a logical bringing it by time) so we shall have to work out another time. Either earlier today, or late tomorrow, or some other time, and we can be all, "Hi!" "Hi!" "Look, tomato!" Like that. Call my cell to set up. :) 917-328-3808

I have a close friend who would love a tomato plant, having recently lost her own.

[podling]

Yay! How will we arrange the drop off time/point? :)

Ours are doing great! And we got some planing boxes with automatic watering for the little dears. I'm going to try to repot them this weekend, since it's pretty cold to put them outside yet. Isn't Memorial Day the usual rule here?

[podling]

Cool! You have mad gardening skilz! And yes, I think it is. Though I can't say totally for sure, but yeah. I'm glad they're loving you guys!

I was actually planning on potting them and then leaving them indoors for a week or so, to avoid frost. Though the rubber tree that I kicked out to the deck last week seems to be doing well...

Mad gardening skillz? I think not! Generally it's more like the Touch of Death, though I've usually had pretty good luck with tomatoes. Which are, after all, a jungle weed!

These did have a close call, when J- who usually does plant care because his ToD isn't as fully-formed as mine- didn't water them enough and they wilted pretty badly. I soaked them and they reecovered, though, even the little one which I figured was a goner.

I do need to repot them though, and then move them to the front window; they're big enough and smelly enough at this point that I think the cats will leave them alone, and the greenhouse window is getting all walled in.
