Thank you for sharing.

My newest longshot is trying to sow the seeds from the sugar bomb tomatoes I purchased from the grocers. Any tips on growing tomatoes? Actually looked complicated based on the video I saw, which required bending part of the lower stem into the dirt.

Also, I did the bury technique with store purchased potatoes that I tried to grow and lost 50% of the yield. The plants didn't continue to grow once buried.
