After years of mental health struggles, I never thought I’d reach a point where I’d be able to keep any plants alive and fulfill my dream of having a rooftop garden. When I got these tomatoes in May, it was a leap of faith I was worried I might not be able to handle, but now it’s August and the sun is shining and they’re starting to ripen and it feels like a reminder of my own progress 🙂 I did it! They survived! And they taste amazing!
If you struggle with mental health, please let this little victory be a reminder that healing really is possible and sometimes you don’t even notice it until there are ripening tomatoes on your roof and you’re glad you’re here to see it 🙂

Looking good, be ready for alot of them !! I have already pulled 200 off my Roma Cherry plant.
You picked a good variety to test out on. I love growing these by seeds and watching them turn into monsters with tons of fruit.
You will likely get a nice large bowl or two full from this plant.
I think growing tomatoes is excellent for mental health. It’s a relaxing and cathartic hobby. You get something to look forward to, and eventually you see the rewards of all of your hard work. It’s also inexpensive to do. I’m so glad it’s been helpful to you.
