Look what came in the mail this weekend! [View all]







Yup! That's eight tomatoes and two peppers that traveled from DU Gardening Group Host and tomato growing guru NRaleighLiberal's driveway "greenhouse" straight to my door. I loved his clever, environmentally-friendly and inexpensive shipping method too.

And here they are today (minus two I gifted to a friend) in their interim pots where they can grow nice fat roots while I finish cleaning and sterilizing their future bigger pot homes (some of which you can see in the back ground still with last years dirt-- and some weeds-- in them-- oh the shame!):




I chose several of NRL's "Dwarf" varieties b/c I am a container gardener and they are specially bred to be happy in 5 gallon pots (though some of mine are larger.)
