Initial Photos

Here they are, the pics you've all been yearning for... umm yeah.

Mike's Pics:

All Mike's pics are foggy, but at least they exist. Here's an overall shot showing the two plants.




Here's a closer view of plant #1. I call it Droopy .







And here we have plant #2, which might as well be plant #1. I can't tell the difference. Why try something new when you can have two equally dull plants?





At this point you may be saying to yourself, "OMGWTFBBQ!?!? A third plant? Mike's a filthy cheat and I hope he takes a permanent vacation to the firey pits of hell!". This is a perfectly normal reaction. However let me reassure you that this plant is of the cherry tomato variety and not subject to this contest.

So why is it being shown here? Well Mike wanted to include it and after looking at his other two plants I think it's easily apparent why this is.







Zeina's pics:

Here is Zeina's nice clear vibrant side by side shot. Notice all the nice green foliage. Too bad it's not actually in the pots.






Here's the close up of plant #1. Yes it's rather pathetic looking. This is because Zeina takes this contest very seriously. This isn't merely a friendly fist fight, this is all out war. Therefore what you see before you is an example of trench warfare er... umm... trench planting.








Just in case the fancy technique of plant #1 doesn't come to fruition, plant #2 uses a more traditional approach of dig a hole and shove it in. So far it's prettier.











So that wraps up week 1 of the contest. So far the clear winner are Mike's cherry tomatoes which has to be rather depressing for both contestants. Will the plants survive to week 2? Does anyone actually care? I guess we'll find out.
