Over the last couple of weeks, I‘ve been sharing my tomato seedlings with my friends who are able to give them good homes. The starter cells are getting crowded with little guys fighting for sun and nutrients, so the call for caring tomato parents goes out!

Fast forward a few months...I reap the rewards of my generosity. Mmmm...tomatoes...**An update*** It is not advised that you plant the actual newspaper, as it does take a long time for the paper to biodegrade.
