Vegies continued!

Thursday night I finally separted the tomato plants in the orange pot. 

These are the plants I removed!

 I took them to school with me and I planted them with the 2 year old kids. The children took a surprising interested. I wasn't worried if they didn't want to participate but they all came and watched.

 I like children to learn about life's essential skills as early as possible, having grown up on a farm myself. It's great to get dirty!

This one I potted separately. We'll see how it goes.

And this is my sad, sad pot after I removed the plants!!

I think they need some TLC!

These are my tomatoes that have already been separated. 

Hopefully the orange pot will resemble this in time!! 

Look how big they've gotten!

And They have flowers!!

 I'm so excited. Looking forward to eating my own tomatoes!!

Vegies!

Tomatoes!

I love my vegie plants! I've had so much trouble in the past growing vegies but this time they look like they are doing well.

I grew them from seed. It's such an adventure growing from seed. I never expect them to grow or know how many will be successful, but this lot did well. It's a much cheaper way of getting many plants but it requires patience!!

My tomatoes started to come up but I had snails and slugs attack them quickly!

How beautiful are these beans! I think they are such a pretty plant.

 I don't know what happened! I thought I was over watering them. Just as they started to grow beans they went yellow and I could see a little bugs on the so I sprayed them with Confidor spray and was unable to eat the beans but the plant recovered.

 In this pot I put in some twigs to give the plants some support. I was a little wary of introducing disease from the twigs but I'm all about not paying for things I don't have too so I was willing to take the risk! The plants seem happy so far.

These are my tomatoes. They are doing really well so far.

I had too many plants in each of my pots so I separated the plants leaving four plants in one pot but I didn't have any where to put the excess plants from the orange pot. I'd have to buy some more pots later (eventually!) but what a difference when the plants have room to grow! The tomatoes in the black pot have shot up double the size of the plants in the orange pot.
