Moderate Gardening Success: 17 Tomatoes and Some Peppers

29th July, 2010 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

Here’s an update on my recent gardening success:

• Tomatoes are finally starting to do well and produce more. Right now I count 17 little green tomatoes – still probably not enough to can my own pasta sauce like I planned, but maybe in the fall they will continue to do well.

• Of my 7 okra plants, one is doing really well and getting very large. I’ve never seen an okra plant before so I don’t know how tall it will get before it starts producing fruit.

• Our chili plant is doing really well and our little jalapeño plant is also doing well.

• And I have some butternut squash starting- hopefully they will do better than my summer squash.
