I've got big hopes for this one. We got an automatic water timer so even when the mosquitoes are bad it will still get plenty of water. And it won't die when we take a vacation.

4 tomato plants, a packet of sunflower seeds, a bunch of basil, sage, dill, and a few other herbs I'm forgetting right now. Oh, and some other flowers too.

It took 3 hours yesterday afternoon, but through the magic of my new time lapse plantcam, you can watch us do it all in only a little over a minute.

The tomato plants are all wilting! I think maybe they got too much water. They had been doing amazing too. A couple small tomatoes were already on two of them.
