my okra in the new raised bed, yes i planted them close together. oh well. hehe.
my green zebra again… gaining vertical height….still with the funky leaf growth. Was thinking maybe this plant got overfertilized or something.
Garden Update 9/13/10

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.
My First Ripe Tomato!
Sep 1
here’s my very first tomato ripening.
already picked it since i didn’t want birds eating it before i do. it’s the tiniest tomato ever but it’s mine. i grew it from seed. it’s from a tomato slice of a burger king whopper burger. pretty nice experiment. getting different types of plants from that tomato slice. also got a determinate growing from it. no flowers or pods yet on that one. will probably stick that in the ground too since it’s a determinate.
this is what you get from trying to save seed from a hybrid. lol.
was a nice experiment, took close to 3 months to get anything. which is fine. maybe it’s small coz the plant was still too young and it was the very first one. gonna taste it later. i heard that the very first tomatoes don’t taste real well, the best ones come from the second batch onwards.
