It all started when I came home from work one day and there was a tomato plant on my doorstep. Yes, a tomato plant. Apparently the nice realtor that left that tomato plant did not know my track record. 1. I grew up with a backyard surrounded by wildlife that ate every living plant imaginable. I never had a chance to even SEE tomatoes grow! 2. I own a dog that ate plants when she was a puppy. 3. I have never successfully kept a living plant alive (on my own) my entire life.
Despite my three strikes, I love the thought of having a green thumb. So I decided to give it a shot. Who knows?! Maybe I'll surprise everyone by inheriting this coveted trait from my grandma who I swear could grow a tomato garden on concrete just by looking at the plant. (Yea...She's that good). There was only one small hiccup. The lack of a backyard. So instead I came home with the ingenious Topsy Turvy tomato plant grower. That's right folks, we are the proud owners of a Topsy Turvy thanks to my green thumb grandma. www.TopsyTurvy.com
Having never purchased potting soil in my life, what should have been a 5 minute trip to OSH, turned into more of a 20 minute trip because... I was so inspired! To add to my vegetable green thumb, I'm attempting two types of flowers! Don't bother asking me what they are...I'm focusing on keeping them alive. :)
