We wanted to start small though, so we planted cucumbers (my absolute favorite!), tomatoes, green peppers and pumpkins (mainly for fun, but hopefully for Halloween!).  Our tomatoes have grown nice big green tomatoes, but they just weren't ripening. Not a single red tomato to date (well, maybe 2-3 … [Read more...]
