Question

how does the tomato move while shaking? what happens to the tomato when you stopped shaking the basin?

Answer 1

Back in 2004, the year I started blogging, I was writing about tomatoes. Thirteen years later, I am still going on about tomatoes.

This is partly because people keep asking me about them - for some reason beginner gardeners always seem to start with tomatoes, which is a curious choice. On the scale of veg growing difficulty that goes from 1, easy, pea shoots and mustard cress - right through to to 10, extremely difficult, vanilla pods (OK I just invented that scale, but let me run with this...) tomatoes score about a 7, I'd say.
