My Strawberry

March 31, 2007

I thought that my strawberry plants were not doing well. The plants looked fine, but the flowers have all dissappeared. At the end of my gardening today, I noticed that one of the plants has a small green strawberry on it! I am excited for this first fruit . The other plants look like they will soon follow.

My strawberry is continuing to grow and now I have more baby berries. If you look closely, you can see the second strawberry in the photo. This plant has two other teensy tiny berries.

The strawberry is red! And tasty too!

We have picked another 2 berries. This my only strawberry plant that is producing berries. I have two more plants that have flowers on them. And another plant that hasn't even flowered yet.

My Tomatoes

April 1, 2007

I staked my tomato plants using the single staking method. I found green stakes at Home Depot for under $.99 each. I tied the tomato plants to the stakes using an old pair of nylons. After tying a knot around the stake and plant, I trimmed away the excess nylon.

My first tomato plant has flowered! I am pretty sure that this plant is an Early Girl. The early girl was my favorite farmer's market tomato and I can't wait to grow my own.
