Day 1: 09/04/16 - Green Zebra Test

In an amazing stroke of luck today, 
I found a Green Zebra at the farmers market.

Made the purchase, and headed home.


You may have already guessed what is coming next, 
but here's a step by step, so you can see the prep work. 
( This is the same thing I did with the Marvel Stripe Tomato test. )


First, I fill the pot to about 1 inch from the top with potting soil.


Then I slice the tomato (which, IS supposed to be green)


I then cut a wedge from the slice round.


Pick the wedge I like best 

( I chose the smallest, because I plan on eating the rest. )


Place it in the center of the pot...


Fill about 3/4 of an inch of dirt onto the slice, 

add some water to the soil, 

set it in the window... and hope.


Hope is the best I've got here,
as I've only done this once before... 
but with 100% success,

so.... here's hoping.

Day 171: 08/21/16 - Super Sweet Day 10: Marvel Stripe

With the season now coming to a close, the only remaining plants 
from the Burpee Super Sweet 100 left is Fight Club 
and The Island of Misfit Tomatoes.  

Both are showing signs of resprouting more flowers.   
Not sure they know their season is ending.


This bowl has been filled and refilled now 7 times.


I don't have pictures today of Patio Princess. but it's doing just fine.

And now for the amazing news.

The experiment of planting slices of a tomato has worked!!

The first image here shows three signs of growth.


Nope. Upon closer look, there are actually multiple signs around this one below.
