As Seen On TV

Some of you know, I sort of have a weakness for "As Seen On TV" items. I am a sucker for TV marketing. This is why I own things like a Magic Bullet. Well, lately I have been obsessed with the idea of growing tomatoes. I have been talking about this since at least April, which is probably longer than it will take to grow them. However, I am not a Dickerson, and I do not have a green thumb. In fact, I have a black thumb because I usually kill most plants. But then, a man on TV convinced me that I could grow delicious tomatoes at home with a Topsy Turvy. Since my gardening options are pretty limited living in a condo and they were on sale at my local drugstore, I went for it:

I am really really hoping this works. I want to grow something. Well, I guess I grew a baby and she turned out pretty fantastic so maybe I'm on a roll.

Please let me know how this goes, as we always talk about getting one of these because you know, it would be really good on a boat if you were sailing around the ocean. Also I love TV products. I wonder how I haven't bought a sham-wow yet.

I have the "Upsy-Downsy"! And I am a black-thumb too. My mother-in-law and husband planted mine, but I am so excited for tomatoes!

Those things grow tomatoes!?! I've seen them all over the place! I had no idea what they were but I feel like I had better get one since every one else has one! Fresh from the vine is the only way I'll eat tomatoes...
