That’s really interesting! Maybe we’ll plant some basil…

Basil and tomatoes are good companion plants. I don’t really understand why, but somehow they help each other grow better.

That sounds like the perfect arrangement, Jackie!

He gets them started and then he brings one tomato plant up and plants it in a large container on our side deck. He even sets up the cage for it to vine. All I have to do is walk outside and pick ;)

Snow in April in the UK?! Freezing temperatures are still very common here, so our tomato seeds have to live inside. I am hoping to try some peas (which, I believe, are supposed to be quite hardy?) outside – this afternoon or tomorrow!
