I did buy some heat mats and grow lights to use when starting the plants, but once they were in the ground there wasn't a lot of expense. I probably should have done more, but other than this recent mite thing, they were doing great. I call myself "a neglectful gardener". I planted marijuana and tomatoes all together, way too close because digging the plot was so difficult. I've picked so many grape tomatoes that I am tired of it. Everyone has had their fill, and there are hundreds that aren't red yet.
There were a couple of times I forgot the water was going and watered way too long, but everything seemed to love it. It's crazy. I probably did everything wrong, and ended up with so much.
If I were to do the same thing next year, probably everything would fail.
I'll have to see what happens this year. I haven't had neighbors complain about the smell yet, but I think probably only one knows where it's coming from. I talked to her about it, telling her to let me know if it was too much for her, but she probably wouldn't even tell me if it bothered her because she's just too nice.
