I've set up a table for my plants behind the TV in our ockward shaped living room. The grow area is lit with Agro-lite 50w plant lights.

The tomatoes have not been as exciting as I would have hoped. Both topsy turvys died after I trimmed them. I have now diagnosed all the tomatoes with some kind of fungus and am treating them accordingly. The clipping rooted and were potted. They have grown well despite the fungal invasion. I had high hopes for a couple tomatoes when one of the plants actually flowered this past week. I lowered my expectations this morning when the flowers started to look a bit weak. I've decided to remain optimistic.

We have an AeroGarden set up in the corner of the table. It's been planted about 3 weeks. The growth is beautiful. I can't wait until we can start to use the herbs is it growing.

The two pots in front of the AeroGarden are daisies we planted last spring. It seems that one of them may finally flower. We have potted daisies all over the house. I'm really hoping for some success this spring.

The mint continues to grow. I check everyday for the evil little bugs. I've planted more mint seeds to give myself a shot at growing some without bugs.

Our little tree is super. It has turned for a stick in the ground to something that really looks like a tree. One day I when I have a yard I will plant it as the center piece and we can reminisce about how it started as a weed.
