I've been pretty busy sowing seeds and last weekend came the time for the first round of "potting up" where the little seedlings roots were bursting through and searching for more room! Always an exciting time to see them growing so well, and so fast! The first to grow fast were the zucchini and pumpkin which are BIG seeds anyway so no surprise there, but the next were the tomatoes! Yay! These are Amish paste, growing up a storm and with there first true leaves :)
I mentioned in a previous post that I'd overwintered one tomato plant (my accident due to laziness and curiosity), and wouldn't you know it the plant is flowering!
How cool is that though? I've had the odd tomato off it in Dec, Jan and Feb but the flowers mean more to come! Who knew there was a chance of overwintering tomatoes? Just to prove it, here is a small tomato on this plant
This variety is Imur Prior Beta which is sized between a cherry and a slicer, usually around an ounce+ each. Just enough in a couple for a salad :) Which is perfect for me. I'll be growing this variety again this year!
