i bought six tomato plants at the clifton garden club sale this past spring, got home and realized that i didn't have a good place to plant them. i put two in the logical place--back yard and put the other four in recycled plastic buckets in which i had flowers growing. the buckets were by my front steps. guess which tomato plants are thriving? i can't even find the two in the back yard.
pass the olive oil, please
