I've been farming today.

Jim and DeAnn bought me a couple of tomato plants about a week ago.  They've been sitting on my front steps waiting for me to have time to deal with them ever since.

Last night on my shopping expedition, I bought a couple of green pots and a couple of ten pound bags of potting soil. 

This morning, the first real chore I did was planting them.  And I documented the event photographically.



Here are the two tomato plants in their original small pots.



Here is one of the two $5 pots I bought.



Here is the Miracle Grow potting soil mix I used.  Each pot took a bag of it.



Here are the two types of tomatoes:  Jet Star and Beefsteak.



Here is the first one planted.  I watered it well.



Here is the second.



And here are the two plants on the front step where they will spend the summer.  Hopefully each will produce at least a couple of tomatoes.

If these work out this year, I might try a few more "potted" garden items next year.
