Do Not Throw Away Your Over Ripe Tomatoes
During the COVID-19, and especially after the lock-down was lighted, I have tried looking for ways to pass time and relax. One of the ways that has really kept me going is my small balcony garden that I started in late March.
I have planted tomatoes, cabbages, spinach, lecttus and so far the best growing vegetables in my balcony garden are the tomatoes. I started growing tomatoes as an experiment since I decided not to use the bought seeds. I had overripe tomatoes that I couldn’t use to cook or make a salad. And that’s when I decided to plant them in my small balcony.
It was as easy as taking 2 overripe tomatoes from the pantry, sliced them into thin pieces.
Once I sliced them, I then placed them on the planter and covered the sliced tomatoes with soil and later topped it with manure.
Make sure the tomatoes get few hours of direct sun and prune regularly
So far the tomatoes have started producing flowers. I water them every 2 days and prune the unnecessary brunches. This has been so therapeutic to me and I cannot wait to harvest
Enjoyed the project?

I've used seeds from cherry or grape tomatoes from the store the last couple years, and got lots of new tomatoes. I'm not having luck with it this year, but it's worth a try! I am getting new green onions from the ends with roots that I put into a pot.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I heard that veggies from the store are being grown so that you cant grow veggies from the seed you can just grow the plant? Is that true ??
Did you get fruit?!
Have to try this...I'm curious and it's so easy. I do wonder how much soil is needed. Doesn't look like much. Is there a minimum depth?
