Dude you are living the dream!

Also, Thanks for the MM update. Just realized it's a PL which I dig more than RL.

Here's a pic showing just how tall a Micro Dwarf tomato is when it flowers.

Looks like Cherokee Tiger Black will throw out both dark green and bright green foliage. The bright green foliage is in its lineage through Bonte Tigre.

And here is the fruit of my labor both making shelves and potting up a million plants.

You should select for the chartreuse only.

Alright got all the drip irrigation in. That 66 .5 gph drip emmitter's all on a timer so i dont need to worry about watering all of those little guys. Timers really are a blessing if you ever want to leave your house for more than a night.

Got 2 varieties of seed potatoes in four 25 gallon pots. We will see how well Purple Viking and Kennebec do in containers.

Those micro dwarf tomatoes look like they can do well in 1 gal pots. In your opinion, are 2 gal the way to go?
