Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: FRUIT!!
That's right: There are tomatoes growing on not one, not two, but actually three different plants!! (I only took pictures of two.) Charlie has 3 cherry tomatoes coming in and two of the three larger tomato plants also have little baby green tomatoes. SUCCESS!!! (For full effect, yell "SUCCESS" out loud with a little bit of a growl.)
I can also see some onions growing below the surface:
AND Bella the bell pepper has several flowers coming in, so I imagine she's not too far behind in producing some fruit:
I'm also getting a little fancy and taking some risks. I've decide to let Silo flower and hopefully "go to seed." He kept trying to grow up instead of grow out anyway, so I figured I'd let him do his thing. We will see if I can harvest some coriander in the coming weeks. I'm trying to keep the other two low by pinching off any upward sprouts. (Let me know if I'm doing this all wrong.)
One final brag: Charlie is getting very tall! I need to put him in a bigger pot soon so I don't end up being the mother that prevented her child from reaching his full potential.
So, as you can see, mostly fantastic (and miraculous) news this week. However, I do have one concern. The leaves on some of my regular tomato plants are turning yellow. Is this normal? Or are they just getting too much sun?
But to avoid ending on a bad note, I look forward to showing you juicy red tomatoes very soon!
