Weekend Update: Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter...Week 5

Failure, disappointment, shame, with a sliver of hope sprinkled on top...the emotions I am feeling as I post this update.  How could I come so far since my last joyous Saturday post you ask?  Remember those yellow flowers I boasted about last week, and how I was sure I was on the brink of a tomato explosion? Gone, gone... gone.  When I sauntered out one morning to water my precious little plant, I could tell from afar that the bright yellow flowers that once were did not look so hot.  As I got closer, I could see they were a tad shriveled up.  Before I really thought through what i should do, I decided to poke one.  It took my breath away as I watched the entire shriveled up bulb float to the concrete. 

After looking around to see if anyone in the neighborhood witnessed my murder, I decided to douse the sweet plant in water in hopes of the other two springing back to life.  Well, this was on Thursday and I have seen no springage thus far.  I will say that the sliver of hope I reported comes from the fact that it appears I have some other flowers on the way.  However, (knock on wood) I will not be reporting too much on these until there is actually some fruit.  I feel as if I jinxed the last ones.  So keep this little tike in your thoughts and prayers and maybe it will pull through.  If you have a green thumb, then I beg you to share your tips and tricks with a comment.  Thank you.  Until next week...
