Sometime in February we started vegetable seeds. We picked-up a seed sowing schedule from our local garden store, City Floral, and for the most part we've followed the recommendations. Matthew strung a grow light above a table in our basement and I sowed seeds in our starter trays.
We're trying new veggies and testing some new growing methods this year, and honestly, here at This Old Alley House our gardening has reached a new level of obsession. I think it will be fun to highlight, describe and analyze our efforts to share with our faithful 1.35 readers as well as document for the future.
First up- tomatoes. For Matthew's birthday Emma and I gave him water walls. This allowed us to plant our tomatoes in April. A month and a half earlier than we've ever put a tomato in the garden. And this has yielded "mondo" tomato plant pictured below. It's huge, grown from seed without any fertilizer and it already has a tomato. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the puny little tomato plant we put in the garden - TRUST M - if you could see it you'd be as shocked as we are with the current size of our plant this early in the season. We got a few light skiffs of snow after we put our tomatoes out, but we closed up the top of our water walls and everything did just fine. Initially I was a bit skeptical because it didn't seem like our tomatoes were getting any bigger. However, sometime in late April/early May things really started heating up and our little plants took off growing. We left the water walls on until earlier this month after the leaves from our plants started to peek out the top.
