This year I also grew starters for several coworkers. One of my wife's friends has his own landscaping business and donated (free) a dozen 10-20 gallon containers to me, so I paid it forward and grew starters (their choice) for half a dozen co-workers and provided them with a container. Pretty cool that between donated seeds and donated containers, I could provide a few people with their own tomato plant. I bring in more than half the tomatoes I grow to give to co-workers, so I thought, why not just give them a plant instead? A few of them have kids, so hopefully it'll inspire a few members of the next generation. One has already requested seeds instead of a starter plant next season so their kids can watch them grow from seed.
Cherry Punch have been the first to produce fruits. They're getting bigger daily. Almost there...
