That’s good news. Save the seeds of your little plants and start again next year.
I was out squishing squash bugs this morning. There is only one yellow squash plant left and four little winter squash plants. Dusted them with Sevin - that that you nasty little creatures! Not a single squash, but then there never are but I try every year.
None of the tomatoes are producing except one volunteer yellow pear. None have blooms and some haven’t grown much since being set out forever ago. About half are decent sized but not a bloom in sight. Last year, nothing but the yellow pears produced until the fall and then a freeze got them before they did much. Looks like it’ll be the same again this year.
Also, weeded (again, still, forever). You’d think eventually the weeds would cry uncle but they get worse ever year so it’s usually me whimpering in the corner. Did find another little tomato plant (probably ANOTHER volunteer yellow pear - geez, they’re prolific) amongst some weeds so he’s free to grow.
It’s already 90 degrees. We’re looking at more 100s this week. It’s no wonder the maters aren’t doing anything.
At the prospect of getting to expand the garden next year into an old driveway, I fiddled with a planting chart yesterday. Fun! I’m determined to get some berries again.
LOL! I’m learning that gardening is sorta like gambling. One little success provides the hook for us to go through all kinds of heartache hoping for The Payoff! Yet we persist (along with the weeds!)
I had not thought about saving the seeds. Good idea. That means I need to leave it on the plant until the pod dries up, right?
You seem to be describing the tomatoes I grew from seed. Good size (I guess! - new to tomato-ing)but a few flowers and not maters. The plants we got from Lowes are doing very well. I’m hoping we do get some kind of action from the ones I sprouted, but I surrender. Whatever!
