Just 2 days after getting everything planted we had 40 degree weather and rain. Not good for my little plants. 2 of my tomato plants caught some kind of "thing". The good news is that it's not spreading and the plants have grown. I also happened to take pictures a few days after the rain and again tonight so I have some before and afters just over 2 weeks apart.
The two that cut the "bug" are the same type, but the 3rd one is a different variety and was doing just fine after the cold, nasty weather. It even had a few flowers.
Now the two "sick" ones are huge with a lot of flowers
The one that stayed healthy hasn't grown very much, but does have a little tomato growing and a bunch of flowers still.
I also have cucumbers
We had another little spout of cool weather and rain and the cucumbers seem to have suffered a bit, hopefully they'll keep growing and looking good.
One of my squash plants I think is doing great. It's gotten a little yellow so I moved it to get more sun.
The other suffered a bit right after planting and with the first bout of cold weather, but is doing great now.
Two weeks ago my 3 pepper plants looked like this and all I had were flowers on one plant.
Now I have one bell pepper that is about an inch and a half long and two little ones starting on another plant.
After the freeze I decided I decided I really wanted zucchini. I planted some seeds and after two weeks they look great.
Hopefully I'll continue to have luck with all the plants. I do have a black thumb so I'm really surprised they're doing so well.
As the plants have gotten bigger I've had to move them around so they can each get sun. They're slowly taking over the patio, but that's fine! It means they're growing!
I am so impressed!
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo rewarding! You'll love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you Faithy! Keep an eye on those plants to make sure John doesn't get a gardening itch!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed! Now I'm thinking that I should have started with bushes rather than seeds--mine aren't even CLOSE to producing veggies!
