Mystery Tomato

Another week of rain!! Mother Nature we need to sun so our vegetables will grow!

As I was photographing the garden today I noticed yet another “Mystery Tomato” plant. I’m going to let her grow where she is right now and transplant her when she gets a bit larger. Now it’s a wait and see game as to the variety of two tomato plants. I guess we had a ton of dropped tomatoes last year. What I am surprised at is we have not seen any grape vines. Last fall when we made wine we dumped all the stems, skins and seeds from pressing the grapes into the garden. So we should have something popping in but have not seen anything as of yet!

The broccoli is toast, I keep cutting the large flowered stalks off hoping that will could have a few small broccoli shoots off the side but it does not look promising. Peas, beans radish, lettuce, onions, asparagus, squash, carrots and cukes are doing outstanding. Peppers, and egg plant seem to be at a standstill.

The hanging tomato experiment is going ok, still the strongest plant is the one planted directly in the ground. The fourth of July hanging tomato has a flower or two so we should have ripe tomatoes in 30 days. Rule of thumb is 30 days from flower to ripe fruit so we will try to keep track of that.

Pray for sun!
