Got a good workout in the garden this weekend. One thing was glaring at me, though...the tomatoes.
Or should I say the tomato plants.
You see, it started like this. Last year, I bought those two heirloom beauties you see at the top of the page. Grown near me, I wanted some too. When I made salsa with them last year, I harvested the seeds.
Planting at the end of the cold spells, I got some good looking seedlings.
A couple of months later, I thinned it out to two of the best looking plants and got flowers.
Now, a little over six months later, I've still got two good-looking plants but have not see one fruit in that entire time. Nothing, not even a little, tiny orb.
Time's up...I'm giving them the ultimate punishment, uprooting. I'll go by a local nursery when I get a chance to see if they have some 3 or 5 inch pots of seedlings to replace them with and hope I get some sort of tomato harvest this year.
At least the green waste bin is getting a workout this week.
