We planted a bunch of tomatoes from seeds a while back, and they weren't doing so well, so we bought some starts and got them going in buckets. Then the seedlings hit their stride, so we bought some more potting soil (well, a lot of potting soil), and now they're doing great. We're about to be up to our ears in lots of tomatoes! The ones we planted from starts are starting to ripen, especially the smaller tomatoes, but we've got a bunch of larger slicing tomatoes on their way, and the ones we grew from seedlings, well, they're about a month behind the starts, so we're going to have waves of tomatoes.
