Garden Detective

So when John came home tonight, naturally I showed him the tomato.

"What are you going to do with it?" he asked. "Plant the sprouts?"

Great idea! That'll make for a great experiment, especially in light of the recent tomato plant tragedy over here at the Damiano house.

So I spent my evening separating pulp from sprouts, rinsing and planting. (Alright, not my whole evening. I also cooked dinner, helped my daughter with her Latin America project on Costa Rica, watched half of "The Song Remains the Same" and spent 1 1/2 hour in the driveway with John, who was trying to get my car's dead battery started, to no avail.)

Aren't they cute? Notice the little roots on the ends. I wonder if they'll grow...

I'll keep you posted.
