I purchased crops this 12 months somewhat than begin the tomatoes from seed. Final 12 months they obtained to be 3 inches tall and stopped rising.
4 weeks later they had been nonetheless 3 inches tall. I had to purchase crops.
This 12 months I simply skipped the irritating half.
I nonetheless have all of the pots to plant. In years previous we’ve had flowers. This 12 months I made a decision to do all herbs.
