Even if we decide to grow just a small pot garden, we absolutely must experience growing tomatoes, at least in some seasons. Tomatoes are annual herbaceous plants belonging to the Solanaceae family.

Humus is a complete substance because in addition to various nutrients, it also contains microorganisms that are useful to the plant's root system.

The olive trees begin to cry and their tears are round and green. A green rain. I like to watch the trees rain green.

One summer, a tomato plant appeared in Grandma's garden that I had never seen before.

The most suitable tomatoes for growing indoors are the bush tomatoes that do not need a stake because they do not exceed 30 cm in height.

When I was little, I used to spend a lot of time hiding among the tomato trees. But at that time I never thought about planting tomatoes in pots.

The bottles stood in rows, on the lowest shelf of the sideboard, to keep them out of the light during the hot southern summers. Sometimes in the afternoon, I would open the window and the sun's low rays would hit them, creating pinkish-purple spots on the stone floor.

Even when she was old, my grandma grew her vegetables next to her house.  She would put them in pots because it was easier and because having a garden was hard on her back.

My grandma would say that if you want something done, it is best to do it yourself and I did my best to find as many varieties of veg to plant on my balcony. I advise anybody living in a condo to give it a try, I find it extremely gratifying.
