Raining Hard

I hope my basil and tomato plants like it!

I remember the first time I stuck a tomato seedling in the ground. The thing grew to about 4' with little or no care on my part, and no knowledge of how to care for it, should it need it.

No, I take that back: I did notice slugs, and looked up what to do about them. I enjoyed putting out the little saucers of beer. I figured that was a pretty nice way to go, too, by slug standards.

I was 11 or 12.

Since then, no success. Though I've only tried a couple times with plants in containers.

Here's hoping this time will be different!
