Paige and I's Dome Garden


My tomato bed just as baby seedlings

My roommate Paige and I prepared a massive garden around our dome about a month ago. It is broken into 4 sections, the largest being specifically for tomatoes and basil. In fact half of the tomatoes in that bed were volunteers from the compost pile (we need to work on our composting skills as all seeds should be dead before the compost is used) and the other half came from transplants that we found in the greenhouse. Now none of the tomatoes were labeled properly so the entire bed is a mystery. We know they are tomatoes but we have no idea what variety they are. They could be anything from yellow pears to big beefsteak tomatoes but soon we shall find out as the first of the tomatoes are producing fruit.

The other half of the garden is a mixture of flowers, tomatoes, and basil. There are sunflowers, cosmos, carnations, and basically anything we could find a seed for that would grow this time of the year.
