Wonderful Oz! Is that a Roma tomato I spy? Tomatoes are my absolute favorite thing to grow and eat fresh from the garden!

Thank you piglett! I came to the Old Folks Home by way of invite from Wisher1000 and then someone mentioned this wild and crazy journey! I'm still not done with the whole story, but loving it so far!

And I'm jealous of all the tomato plants! I'd love to get to the point where I can grow my own seedlings! I've been getting transplants

After 4 long days I have finally read this entire thread! I'm speechless. Oz, you and the awesome BYCers who have been drawn into your dreams and vision are amazing! As everyone else has done when popping out of "lurkdom", just a quick intro. I'm a first time chicken owner in Virginia. Originally from Alabama, I have lived across the US and even Europe as a child. I have 4 spoiled laying hens and currently 2 Styrofoam incubators holding what will be my first 2 of hopefully many more hatches to come. Reading this over the last few days, I have laughed, cried, crossed my fingers and been on the edge of my seat...just AWESOME! And Oz, I'm a beekeeper, too!

we set our seeds in a water container in the living room you know the kind that holds 2 1/2 gallons we cut 1 side out of it & then layed it down makes for a great free container so all is well till the cat gets in there & moves everything around (good job cat) it took extra time for the 1st signs of plants to show up but there are now +/- 40 tiny tomato plants started i need to thin them out soon , i guess i better get drinking some more water
