It’s a miracle. My garden has officially survived for almost 2 months!
This is the first time in the history of my adult life that something I’ve planted has lived.
Although I know it is about 0% me and 100% the week straight of rain followed by the week of 90+ degree sun, we are actually starting to see fruit! Also, apparently the secret is raised garden beds. (and not living in Florida anymore)
So far I have 7 little baby green tomatoes poking through, quite a few blueberries, and a few peppers starting to flower.
This little guy won’t be seeing fruit for a few years, though.
A friend of mine asked me recently how I find time to garden, blog, serve at church, etc. with two toddlers. Umm…I let my kids run around in their underwear and play with sharp objects?
True story.
wow good job! i am currently trying to grow some tomato plants…just wondering–how big were yours when you planted them? and how long did it take for the blossoms to turn into tomatoes? I planted mine (which were about 1ft tall) maybe 3-4wks ago. they have had blooms on them the whole time…still no tomatoes though! also planted some from seed, so I’m curious how well they will do. those are about 4 inches tall now.
Hi Kandy! These tomatoes are Early Girls, so they fruit early. They were about 8 inches tall when I planted them in mid-April. They started to flower about 3 weeks ago and the tomatoes just poked out this week. I’m new at this, but I would guess a lot depends on the variety you planted.
