I've tried growing tomatoes in giant pots for the past few years with mixed results (mostly dependent on whether my current apartment gets sunlight or not), and I've finally settled in a great place that has no sunlight. That means: no tomatoes. Well, very tiny tomatoes at the veeeery end of the growing season, small in number and size.
So, when a coworker decided to divide and give away strawberry plants, I figured, what the heck, give it a shot. So, into the tomato pot with the strawberry plants! The plants look pretty healthy, for their non-direct-sun-locale. And just look at what they've given me!
Oh, yes! strawberries for me! I may have mentioned before that I have a two-week period every summer of gorging myself on berries. (Recipe for best dessert evah: strawberries dipped in sour cream dipped in brown sugar. MMMM!) So, please feast your eyes again on my summer garden bounty!
Okay... they're teeny! And, there's only four of them for the entire year. But they are tasty and sweet, for about 2 seconds. Sigh. Maybe the plants wil be more established next year?
