She loves it. I think you could get cheaper planters to use, but she likes that it holds extra water in it so if she forgets about watering her plants don't die right away. The wheels are nice too so you can move it around. You should get one! Then you can toss me a spare tomato every once in a while. My mom has one of those earth boxes too! She loves it.

Those things you buy at the store, even the "vine ripe" ones are little more than red blobs with no flavor at all. They aren't ripe, and they don't ripen at home. The closest they get to ripe is rotten. We think about it every year, and we are thinking about it again this year, but I don't see it happening. I think the best I can hope for is getting a planter box of some sort. It’s the fresh tomatoes I miss the most.

I've been thinking of starting it up again this year, if I can get around to it. I REALLY miss the fresh vegetables and tomatoes (Mmmm fresh, ripe tomatoes!!). If I manage to get one going this year, and have extras during harvest, I'll bring them over ... lol. The last couple of years I haven’t bothered with a garden, for multiple reasons.
