My tomato plants are growing really fast! And little yellow flowers are starting to appear! I'm really excited about the progress of these plants. I need to move them into bigger containers. I read that a 5 gallon container is the minimum size for tomatoes. I went to Home Depot to find some 5 gallon nursery pots, but they only had 7 gallon and they cost around $8 a piece. I thought that was way too expensive since I need six of them. I ended up ordering some containers online. I hope my tomato plants won't mind their tight quarters for a few more days.

Tomato Plants Getting Big!

Potted Hibiscus
Hibiscus is one of my very favorite plants. The blooms are simply gorgeous. Since this is a tropical plant, the Arizona heat is not a problem as long as these plats are well watered. I had a pair of these plants last year but failed to water them regularly, so they died. I bought two new plats from Wall-Mart for $5 each. I potted them in some old pots and now they are sitting by my front door to greet visitors and passers-by. Look how beautiful they are! I read that hibiscus can do well in pots, hopefully I can keep these ones alive.
