Yeah...I considered that last year's were mis-labeled...but the tags don't say "cherry tomato" on them anywhere.
We've considered trying to grow from seeds...but it's somewhat time consuming...and I don't really have any place to do the grow-out. No good sunny window space in the house, and it's usually a bit too cool here until early March to do it outside...and I always try to get my plants in the ground by March 15.
On the good news side...my jalapenos are doing great. Each plant has several 3-4" peppers...and more blossoms every day.
My Fresno are doing fabulous. At least a dozen 4-5" peppers, and some are starting to change color. I've tried a couple of them while they were green...GREAT flavor, nice heat.
My Serrano is FINALLY taking off. Lots of small peppers, tons of blossoms.
My "New Mexico Hatch Chile" turned out to be a damned green bell pepper.
Yeah I've got the time to do start from seed, plus I have two good south facing windows and a grow light for helping things along on cloudy days.
On my garden update front, onions are starting to heavily bulb up, pulled one of my largest carrots today and it was about 3-4 inches long and as thick as my index finger so another 10 days or so until they are the correct size.
Celery is doing OUTSTANDING, should be ready to harvest the first stalks by mid july.
All tomatoes have set fruit, especially my Topaz/Huan U cherry tomatoes, 4 plants with at least 25 tomatoes per plant right now.
My beans and black eyed peas are ready to blossom.
Cabbage is heading nicely.
Collard and beet greens I've already made 3 harvests of. Growing like mad.
Almost all my corn is 3+ feet high already:awe:
My Jimmy Nardello sweet peppers have multiple 2-3 inch fruits on, my black hungarian peppers all have multiple fruits and my cuban seasoning peppers are FINALLY growing and looking to blossom soon.
My watermelon, cantaloupe are all blooming up a storm, should see fruit set any day now. First cucumbers are about 4-5 inches long and still really thin should be another week or so til I can pick one.
My white scallop summer squash is probably the largest summer squash I've ever seen in my life. Absolutely massive and setting blossoms too.
And last but not least my giant sunflowers range in height from approximately 5 foot tall to about 8.5 feet tall. The 2 that are 8.5 feet tall are trees, literally.
I'll post some pictures soon.
