Tomato and Tomatoer

The windowsill tomatoes are all doing wonderfully. I planted them out into their own pots a few days ago, and they're starting to put out their third set of leaves. There is no way I'll be able to look after ten indeterminate heirloom tomato plants in my little flat. Anyone want to adopt a few?

The chard in the background has been looking a little weak, but it's making good progress. I'm going to wait until their stems are a bit sturdier, then try them in the new trough outside.

This weekend we made a Homebase trip for more compost for the potatoes. They are growing like crazy! I'm going to need more wood slats for the sides soon. We also picked up the aforementioned trough, half of which now contains lettuce from the Farmers' Market, and some large pots for the tomatoes. When I was downstairs just now harvesting parsley and oregano for a batch of beetroot salsa, I noticed that my planted-on-a-whim mustard greens are getting huge. They might go well with the pheasant tonight; I will have to look up how to cook them.
