We’ve been away over the really hot days this weekend. Luckily, we have self-watering pots for all our vegetables, so we didn’t need to rely o a neighbour to come and water our plants.
This greeted us when we came home:
The type of cherry tomato that yielded this lovely bunch is called “Tiny Tim”. They don’t grow too high, don’t need pruning and yield fantastically. A perfect plant for windowsill farming! I think we’ll be using this one exclusively next year.
Sadly, some of the chilies seemed to have gotten too much sun despite plenty of water and dried out. But I have a nice palette of chilies anyway:
I got a whole bowl of Jalapeños that ripened before the plants died. I’ll have to do some emergency pickling and freezing tonight before we go away on vacation again! (No, not freezing the pickles. :D)
(Yes, yes, that’s my acrylics paint palette with dried-in paint on it. I thought it made a fun contrast. :D)
My goodness, I can’t believe you still manage to have plants with this heat. My herbs just dried up…
wow!
anche io aspetto la mia produzione!
i miei pomodori sono in fiore adesso^_^
complimenti!!!!!
Your tomatoes are gorgeous! I have a few plum tomato plants in my garden. I have to harvest them while they’re still green and let them ripen on the counter. Unfortunately, the birds and I’m assuming the raccoons will never let me taste a vine ripen tomato.
Those tomatoes are so beautiful it is almost surreal. I bet they taste like heaven.
That tomato picture looks like it was clipped out of a seed catalog!
