Newbie in Tucson AZ

Hi all! Newbie to gardening and, big surprise, tomatoes are my favorites. I live in a tiny apartment, with an even tinier yard. I have one San Mariano, one suyo long, one Thai chili plant, and mint and cilantro.
Cilantro is coming out any day now and basil is going in.
I’ll have LOTS of questions…….

Suyo Long are a favorite cucumber of ours.

My cilantro is mostly coriander now.

Fresh Basil is essential to the full enjoyment of tomatoes.

Welcome, welcome and ask away. It sounds like the micro-mini's might be good for you and the Dwarf's too.
