This one isn't even about latitude. :) Memphis does have a 'winter.' At least, it can get cold, even snowy, and we have quite a few nights of freezing. The problem here, as I found out this past season, is that it gets too hot in the summer (unless you have a tree to grow tomatoes under) for the tomatoes to ripen effectively. Out of the four plants I had, which were all supposed to produce like whoa, I got about 20 tomatoes if that.

I was gifted an aerogarden, and as soon as the seed kit arrived, I started it up (last Wednesday). So now I'm watching it all grow. Literally. The seeds have grown about 7mm since yesterday morning. Amazing.
