It will start to sprout roots and continue blooming for about a month in water. If you use a cotton swab to pollinate the flowers, you can get tomatoes. Yes, it really is that easy -- touch a cotton swab to one flower, then touch another one, then another, and voila, the flowers turn into tomatoes. <BR/><BR/>The tomato plant will die after about a month in water. If you want to continue to get tomatoes, just put it in a pot with soil. I've wondered if it would continue to grow in water if I just added fertilizer. I might try that this fall.Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-59591275837928021662008-08-09T20:51:00.000-04:002008-08-09T20:51:00.000-04:00The thick mozzarella slices look delicious!
