*** UPDATE ... it is noon and there are 4 tomato babies left. Please pop in and make sure the have a good home :) ***
21 tomato plant orphans... need a new home ASAP!
I thought gardening would be a tranquil, gentle hobby that would be great to fill my time as an empty nester. NO ONE warned me about GARDEN DRAMA! It is a thing...
👩🏻🌾Start too early.... drama
👩🏻🌾Start too late ... drama
👩🏻🌾Rain too much... drama
👩🏻🌾Rain too little .... drama
👩🏻🌾Bugs ... don't get me started
👩🏻🌾Have too much success with a seed retrieval experiment and end up with over 200 tomato plants..... drama 🍅😂🍅
I have mananged to "re-home" many of them .... thank you Emma, Milo, Kelly, Lisa and Sandra for taking ridiculous numbers of plants!!!
However..... I have 21 babies that need new homes. Homes that have southern warm windows or garden grow lights. Homes that have the time and energy to pot up these tomato babies. 🙏
You can take 1 ... or all of them.
Heirloom tomatoes: Large Amish Paste, Small Amish Paste and Purple Cherokee (delicious as a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich type tomato)
Please let me know if you are interested in the comments below. I can bring them to the office Friday (tomorrow) or Monday.
*** If anyone knows a teacher who wants 21 plants for their grade 3 class as a project.... please share this with them. ****
Pro Tip:
May this tip be a motivator for you wanting to adopt a tomato plant lol
