Very cool, Patty!

Gawd those ones in the grocery store in winter are gross aren't they?!

They look so perfectly red on the outside but when you cut into them they're white and unripe! Blech!

This is definitely what motivates me to produce a crop or two indoors over the cold months. I just can't stand those awful sawdust tasting ones at the store. I'd rather even eat summer canned tomatoes than those, any day. They're just disgusting and totally expensive, to boot!

I hope people with sunny sills will consider doing what I'm doing and produce some fruits inside over winter. You won't be disappointed.

Here's a 7 year old blurry pic of some "sweet million" cherry tomatoes I grew in a pot outdoors against a wall. I had them staked in the pot to support them and I harvested fruits all summer long.

You can also see some red flowers in the pic from my "scarlet runner" pole bean vine I had also growing in a pot near the tomatoes...
