39?

We started with 32 tomato plants. 32, why not, seemed like a reasonable number when Margie was in DeBaggio's and well, 32 should keep our two families fed for the summer, plus countless friends? I mean, we fed everyone on EIGHT plants one summer.

We immediately lost two plants to unknown critters of the night. It then seemed perfectly logical to replace them with nine more. You know, lose two, get nine more. Right?

Then we realized we didn't have ANY full sized yellow tomatos and how could we ever be complete without a full sized yellow tomato?

I suppose they are in the mail.



All lined up and tucked in their bales.

We also require supervision:



I've also successfully got some bagged potato plants growing. These photos were taken about a week and a half ago and they've grown into MONSTERS since then.
