Chapter 7 - A Visit to the Neighbors

On Wednesday night my friend Melissa came over for dinner - we had a nice meal that we whipped up quickly and then ate. As we finished cleaning up, the sun was just setting. With my camera in hand, we grabbed a bottle of wine and headed across the freeway to the house of my friends Erica and Yph. It was time to pay a visit to their tomato plant!

I was planning to create a movie in iMovie that documented our entire visit, but sadly iMovie is too annoying to use, so I am only including a short video of Yph. The image quality isn't great, but it's the best I could do. I think I'll stick to photos from now on.

So I had talked to Yph and Erica about their tomato plant, so I wanted to go visit and take a look. Their tomato plant is indoors, in a special pot that they got at a garden store in the Castro. It looks very nice and is pretty large, and I realized that I too would need to buy some pretty large pots to plant tomatoes in - my dresser drawers wouldn't cut it.

From Yph and Erica's window, you can see my roof - they really live just a block away, right across the freeway (good old 101). So they'll be able to keep an eye on the progress (lots made today - see the upcoming chapters for detail!)

We had a nice time chatting, and Yph told us about some other gardening adventures he's had recently. Watch the video to find out more!
