Episode 28: Plant Side Chat #4 : The Tale of the Tomato Plant

Click Here to Listen to the Episode!

 

Today’s short and sweet Plant Side Chat is honoring my first balcony herb garden and the lessons I learned, since I just planted up my new garden for this upcoming season. One of my favorite stories to tell is the story behind our first Tomato Plant, why it was kind of an epic #plantfail, but how it was the most important plant in the garden to learn from that summer. Tune in to learn why and how the lesson I learned from it applies to so many facets of life.

 

The tomato plant is to the right!
