About a month ago I was at the Redfern opening of their refurbished park. The great thing was Sydney City Council was giving out plants for free to anyone that wanted them. I adore fresh home grown tomatoes and have fond memories of my parents vege patch. There is nothing like the smell and taste. Supermarket brought ones are tasteless in comparison.

SO... living in a small unit, with a tiny balcony and desperate to relive my childhood, I brought my tomato plant home, (big red variety) watered and lovingly tended to it. It quickly out grew the small pot and I had a brain wave - 1 2Litre milk bottle + 1 knife = new recycled pot for my lovely plant!

So as you can see my happy "milk" tomato are coming along really well. Will post updates of their progress:)
