Now that that's out of the way...
Today I went to
Anyhoo, in case you're wondering, no, I don't eat tomatoes per se. But I do like salsa and creamy tomato basil soup. I also had the following experience while choosing soil...
Me: Ooh, look! Organic garden soil. That's the ticket!
Organic Soil: Pick me! Pick me!
Me: Well, I don't see why not. It's organic and it's garden soil. And I'm planting things that grow in a garden. I'll take two bags!
(Later the same evening)
Me: La la la...I'm planting things...la la la.
Organic Soil: I'm happy to be at your service (heh heh heh)
Me: What do you mean "NOT FOR USE IN CONTAINERS?!!"
Organic Soil: Sucker! Oh, and take a look at this "We recommend that you use garden gloves while using this product" (heh heh heh)
So the bottom line is, I've probably just given myself and all three plants a death sentence.

Good luck! I dislike gardening. But I also feel strongly that the responsible thing to do would be grow some of our own food. Maybe when the kids are bigger.
You are hilarious ;) By the way, do you have a specific recipe for your soup? I tried it homemade a couple months ago and my kids were actually in tears and gagging. We have an "eat it or starve" rule around here so it's very uncommon to see them go to such drastic measures to let me know it wasn't tasty.
I have an ivy growing at this very moment and I am really surprised it's still alive! We've tried a couple other plants but they are now in that beautiful garden in the sky :( I thought about growing my own bell peppers, but I remember that I have the Black Thumb of death. Apparently that applies to fish too...
