Warm weather but not too bad

 Clear, breezy and just warm enough to run the AC a few days in a row but might survive today without it. Will see in a few hours.

The over achiever cherry tomato plant. The terra cotta tomato is not doing so good, half the height and not as healthy. Still producing but it may just be the position and variety. Definitely going back to an actual Roma next year.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cucumber is filling out nicely! Going to be a full size cuke in another week I think. It's gained about a half inch or more in length in the past few days for sure. Five more cherries plucked early because I'm paranoid about them staying on the vine. I need to find out how to get full branches of ripe ones without the oldest ones rotting.

I think this one is likely a poblano, it's not perfectly round like a jalapeño so will see what happens. All the plants have flowers and tiny fruit growing but I still wonder what the two smallest ones are. Will see eventually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Size comparison and a close up of hopefully another cuke up at the top with the closed flower. Most of the flowers seem to be males unfortunately so not sure how much longer the vine has. It may be holding off on females until that one fruit is finished. Can also see how the terra cotta is not thriving as much and is having some issues with spider mites. I'm trimming off branches as best I can when I see them and luckily it's not affecting the cuke or the cherry vine.

Have to go out and water today for sure, got a late start on the day so morning watering never happened.
