Garden Update 9/13/10
Sep 13
Finally got some time to myself and my garden. Been transplanting and digging holes in the garden.
here’s the seedlings of black tomatoes and poblano from the charitable folks of pex
my window of peppers, eggplants and tomatoes
Well my very first eggplant flower fell off. which is fine and to be expected from a 12″ x 12″ plant. It was quite pretty when it was in full bloom. too bad the humidity got to it before any sort of pollination could occur.
here’s a pic of my first tomato sliced crosswise. i guess it ripened suddenly coz of a change in it’s environment. it got moved to the ground.
as you can see from the cross section of the fruit, it was a bit on the mealy side.
guess the plant got confused and ripened it up a lot faster than it should have. there were absolutely no seeds and not a lot of gel. it just looks a lot like an unripe tomato picked from the vine and then ripened by ethylene gas. tasted like a grocery tomato, absolutely no flavor. tasted a bit on the green side. but then i picked it a bit earlier than i should have. perfectly fine since it was just a fruit from a pubescent plant.
