Cultivate the garden within

My Cherry Tomato Plant
My Green Peppers

Just a quick post to showcase my seedlings growth. And to show off my lipstick plant that came back from the dead to bloom hardcore. Zombie Lipstick Tube Plants Rule!

Nice, the plants look great.

Our beens and zuchinni are big like that, but the tomato plant is still tiny. (we grew it from seed) I'm jealous of your tomatoes, lol.

I've never seen lipstick flowers like that, they looks weird but are really pretty.

I grew mine from seed too. There was a total of four clumps in that bucket, but the other ones died off and this one is growing strong. In two weekends, I am going to plant the rest of my container garden and strat bringing the plants out side for a couple hours at a time so they can be ready to be outdoor plants by July.
Now I am all concerned that my lipstick tube plant is weird....maybe because it came back from the dead?

Haha, I meant I had never seen a lipstick plant at all, not that yours in particular was weird...

I think they would all be wierd to me.

My tomatos from seed are still about a cm high and only have two leaves... what am I doing wrong? All the other plants are thriving... :(

I have been growing mine under a CFL lightbulb. And mine are cherry tomatoes, maybe thats the difference?
