I've had the most success with tomatoes - each year I end up throwing the 'worm munched on' ones on the ground and miraculously the following year they turn into new bushes!
Here's some of the first ripe ones from this year - I'm not exactly sure what variety they are (it's been a few years since I planted the original ones from seedlings we made) but they are a small 'cherry tomato' type... And it looks like we're going to get quite a few of them... Last year we had so many that I ended up spending days drying them, so that we could freeze them and use them throughout the year... they were great for making soups!
Last year the bushes grew so tall that I ended up trimming the tops.. But this year we headed off to Garden World on Springvale Rd, and they had this little hot house set up with tomatoes hanging everywhere!! (They also had a set up like this for cucumbers - so cool!) So this year instead of trimming the bushes, I'm training them, tying them up with countless ties, hoping that they will make a cubby house like shelter, like the one I found at Garden World:
And on the topic of tomatoes - came across this idea in my internet travels - isn't it great?
