Week 4

>> Friday, May 29, 2009







Week 4 and so far so good. Some tomatoes are beginning to blossom and some are just starting to grow their blossom. Both the Tomaotes and Green Pepper are growing in hieght/length and I recentely rotated some of them so the can be even all around. Normally you want to do that once a week, even with your other plants. I watered the garden twice this week bc all week it has been raining here so there was no need to water them even more. Hit the jump for more pics and details on the garden.....


Here you see the green pepper. Its not showing any blossom but I have noticed it get taller. The leaves are looking rich green and I rotated it so it can grow even on all sides.

Here is the top view angle of the green pepper so you can see the new growth.

This is one of the Roma tomatoes. Its beginning to bush up and get taller. This tomatoe gets the less sun so you don't see it bushing up like the other Roma tomato you will see later.

Here is how tall its getting.

And here is the Blossom its growing
The second Roma is looking real strong and bushy as well. This one is closer to the edge so it gets the most sun out of the two Roma Tomato.
As you see, its definitely growing strong and has alot of new growth. I rotated this one too bc if you notice, one side is taller than the other.
Here is the blossom its growing.

The Turvys are doing real great bc they get the most sun. They are looking really strong and growing alot in length. My only concern is that they are growing up ,somewhat bending up, bc, of course, plants grow towards the sun. I began putting some weights on them(not anything elegant but whatever I can find to get the job done) so they can lay and grow downwards. That is why the Office Max box of staples is on this plant. I'm afraid that if the limbs are growing up that when the tomatoes begin to grow, they will force the limbs to go down and brake from the weight of the tomatoes.
Its blossoming very well. This is just one of its blossom. As you see its already setting the flower.
Here is another angle of the same flower blosson. Sorry its alil dark.



This is the second Turvy. She is looking great. This Sun Master tomato is looking strong and has grown alot in length. You will notice the pliers I have hanging on it so it can grow downwards. I'm alil sadden to say that I accidentally broke a limb which had flower blossom bc the weight was to heavy. Be sure to be careful.
Here is a blossom thats beginning to grow.
Here is another blossom I later found.


So this is what the Patio is looking like. I moved two of my Inpatient Plants to the other side of the patio so there can be a balance of color on both sides of the patio.
