Tomatoes, 6th bag of lettuce, banana peppers and a few dozen red beans
It has been a while since I posted because the system has been
cruising along. 6 bags of lettuce and so far, no bolting. The banana
peppers are huge and ... look like bananas. The single strawberry plant
is yielding 2" long strawberries, 2 or 3 a time.
The
tomatoes are coming along. A pruning accident a while back actually
yielded my first tomato bud. I was pruning off the lower branches of
one of the 4 tomato plants, I cut the wrong thing and the top of the
plant fell over, leaving the branch that I was trying to prune. I stuck
the top of THAT plant deep into the gravel. The 2nd picture shows the
roots that it created for itself.
Now, there are
several clusters of tomato buds. Nothing has ripened yet. The biggest
one of them all is abjust under 2" in diameter and growing.
The red beans have sprouted bean pods. Based on the number of pods... we'll have 50 to 60 red beans. Cup-o-soup anyone?
