A few months back now we planted a single tomato plant and heaps of pea seedlings. The tomato plant almost never made it and I've had to mount a heat lamp above it to help it make through the cold. At one point half of the plant just disintegrated. All of the peas we planted (about 50 seeds) to our amazement came up. We decided to redistribute them and the process of doing this killed ALL OF THEM except for one last fighting trooper. Not put off though we bought more pea plants, and now I can safely say about 70% out of the ones we bought made it and have just brought the first peas!
Here is a montage of our progress and hopefully the beginnings of our little growing adventure:
