One of my Orange Hat tomatoes split, and I read that this can be prevented by plucking the tomatoes off the vine before they are fully ripe—but not while they’re still green—and letting them ripen off the plant.
I’m now looking at these good-sized little guys and wondering if I should pluck them off. They’re past the green stage but not completely yellow.
My micro-dwarf baby is growing so big! Yes, it’s all on a single main stem, grown from a single seed. There’s just barely room for the basil plant that I moved into the hole all the way to the right. I’m so excited to see new tiny tomatoes emerge every day.
I’m eager to see flowers on my little Orange Hat tomato plant. Do these look like buds to you? I’ve seen buds on bigger tomato plants, but it’s hard to compare these because they’re so small.
I got my first one at the beginning of January, after having bought my mom one as a Christmas gift. I've been happily growing bok choy and tatsoi since then. As summer approached, I felt the yen to grow some (micro-dwarf) tomatoes and some basil, which I planted after harvesting my latest crop of greens.
But then I missed my greens and decided I needed to grow some at the same time as the tomatoes and basil. So I combed eBay for another Harvest Slim. I found one and ordered it, in black, which I thought would blend in well with my living room decor, which is mostly sage green, chocolate brown, and black. Well, today it was delivered, and it was...PINK! lol (I know the pink was a limited edition and some people would love to have it, but it wouldn't have been my choice.) First-world problems, as they say.
I set it up and it works perfectly, so no complaints there. I've already got another tatsoi and my first Little Gem lettuce planted.
