The tomato experiment.....

[poltr1]

Earlier this year, I tried my hand at gardening. I have little room for a garden in my backyard/patio, so I planted a tomato plant in a large bucket. (Yes. I has a bucket. Don't tell the walrus, though. :) ) The plant grew to a nice size, but I only had 3 small tomatoes on it.

What gives? This was a Chef Jeff's Whopper tomato plant! There should have been lots of big tomatoes!

A neighbor who's more into gardening than I am said I should have had a second tomato plant nearby so they could cross-pollinate. Maybe I'll try that next year.

So, I'll consult the folks on LJ. What should I do different next year?

Yes, I used that on my tomato plant. MiracleGro keeps me from having a black thumb. :)
