Some Pics and - BERrrrr - Baby its cold outside....
Not really as it was 90 yesterday and will remain in the 90's for the next few days.
Was out of town for 10 days and came back to find - 1. The newly installed auto-watering system performed admirably. 2. BER - My 2 Orange Banana's - had some before I left, picked off about 35 tomatoes upon return in various stages of growth that had it. Have at least another 40 without and picked 2 ripe ones. OB's were my largest plants when I left, surpassed by Goose Creek on return. Treatment to be performed - None. Only other plant with BER is Goose Creek - 2 tomatoes. Thought I would came back to lots of ripe fruit - but alas no. Will be another week or 2 for a big harvest. I blame that partially on my light conditions. I only get 6 hours a day. Can't complain though - did a head count before I left and had over 140 in various stages of growth. Posted a July 4th pic - need to take some new ones... Question as well - (will post in new thread but ask it here too - the orange/red tomato - need an ID - It was supposed to be a Cherokee Purple, but clearly isn't! I was thinking my "tomato elf" (4 year old) mixed up my seedlings when they were in potting blocks. I am not growing anything that would look like it. It is an RL plant. Meaning an errant seed....
