Well…you know I’ve been disappointed that I have had flower drop syndrome on my tomato plants and I have lost probably 20 blossoms or so over the 4 oldest plants…that are all of the same strain called celebration and I was getting to the point that I didn’t expect to get any tomatoes at all off them…but just today, finally, I have three small tomatoes on blossoms that didn’t turn yellow and fall off…so I’ll get at least three tomatoes for all the work on the garden so far…yeah, that’s a little bit defeatist but starting them early downstairs and all the work that entailed hasn’t done what I expected it to do…and that is give me ripe tomatoes by the end of July….oh,well…but, I do have tiny little jalpenos on a few of the plants and my beans flowered today so that is cool…and I have one green pepper plant that is flowering but those have turned out to be the hardest plants to get to make fruit…I do have a green pepper that I am using to make pizza that I am going to take the seeds and plant them this weekend in the only remaining place in the garden…oh, my cukes are also starting to flower so it looks like I may have some veggies by the end of next month….and I have the other strain called better boy that are also full sized tomatoes that have finally taken off and have started to flower…they don’t look like the blossom stems are yellowing so I may get quite a few off those plants…and I got frustrated with getting my cherry tomatoes to grow after I transplanted them outside so I dumped a bunch of seeds in a hole and now I have another 10 plants that have come up but I’m not sure if any of them will grow big enough to give me fruit…but, I should get a few with almost 15 plants out there…I may be driving people nuts in August with way too many veggies but that is a good thing…my neighbors will probably get sick of me giving them away…all this is a trial run for when I buy my own house and put in a garden there…I did forget to plant herbs so that will be part of the plan for the next garden…and sunflowers, lots of sunflowers…the 19 I have in the back yard just don’t seem to be enough…and some of them are over 3 feet tall now and it is cool to watch them follow the sun…so, it looks like I am going to have some fresh veggies this year and that makes me happy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
