Indoor Winter Tomatoes in NH
As I posted a few weeks back, I had taken a tomato sucker last July and
stuck it in a water glass in my kitchen for a few weeks to root. End of August 2002, I planted it in a 2 gallon pot, and let it stay outside til the first frost in early October. I then moved her ("Audrey" became her name, after the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors") and gave her 16 hours a day of light in my kitchen window (gro light and natural sun). I picked my first tomato in mid December, and have picked several more since then. I currently have 8 ripening tomatoes in varying sizes. And when Audrey got too big, I cut one of her branches off and decided to try rooting that. Audrey 2 now has 3 tomatoes of her own! Only bummer: I have NO idea what variety the plant is! Oh well...

Craig Meredith, NH USA Doesn't matter. Just send me some of the seeds! : ^ ) Lee Hall Zone 6B (who just ate a Mexican cardboard-tasting tomato) |
