So, where are you going to grow your tomatoes? Does your geezer
center have a community garden? Just curious.
There is a community garden with plots that can be rented for a small
fee ($5 per year?). We don't use it. We have a bay window which has a shelf at about the three foot level. It gets pretty decent after noon sun. Using pots, we've successfully grown several spice plants and
last year a cherry tomato plant.
Sort of like your deck in Columbia, then?
