Time out: 6pm
Our first tomatoes are here! This one is called "Heartland" and here's what it says on the label: An excellent performer ideal for small space gardeners. Dwarf, compact plants produce mid-size, 6-8 ounce fruit, bright-red in color. Great fresh flavor. 80 days. Indeterminate.
Our final paper still remains the focus of this week, which is due sometime next week. So we're working out the kinks on that.
As for our garden duties, a few plants were moved around, hopefully to their benefit! The squash plants are getting really long and some small fruits are starting to set. It was suggested by Jared and Steve that they be moved to the ground.
I was a bit relentless to move them from their containers since they looked rather content clambering up the trellises. However, I ended up doing so regardless since it is true that once the fruit start to grow, gravity will not be so kind.
The tomatillos (grown from seed) were transplanted into the containers the squash once were. I think they'll be happy there.
By the way, this is the last blog of the semester. And coincidentally, we both have plans to move in the upcoming months so with that in mind, the blogging may not come on a weekly schedule. Still, wherever we go, there is always earth to turn, pictures to take and something to say about it. Besides, I never knew how fun this blogging thing was until now!
On another note, we harvested our first cucumber of the season. Boy, was it tasty!!
Here are some extra pics from the past few months work. I'm putting these up mainly for nostalgic purposes.
Summer's just around the bend, maybe we'll see you at the harvest party!
