The haul from a productive little journey to Blomsterlandet ("Flower Country") after work this evening. Plus some miscellaneous junk visible out in the balcony room, which is past due some spring garden cleanup!

My primary mission today was to pick up some tomato plants. It hopefully shouldn't be too early, since they are going in the glassed-in balcony area. No seeds started this year, and we do have the car now so it's much easier to haul all kinds of stuff around.

I grabbed two tomato plants, and this mystery vaguely banana pepper-looking variety to go into the three existing buckets.

I know the 'Totem' is supposed to be good in containers and heavy bearing for a smallish plant. Then I decided to stay sane for our current growing situation, and opted for this other bush tomato variety that I'd never heard of before.

But! Turns out that 'Vilma' has some other plans in mind.

That's it, that's how big the plants get. I like the cute little micro dwarves, and these are supposed to have a good flavor. But, somehow I think that the bucket will need to find another new occupant.

For now, at least, I think 'Vilma' will probably be better off moving up into one of these.

Besides the edibles, I also couldn't resist picking up these when I saw them.

A few unnamed African violets, and the lone Cape Primrose that I saw in the store. (Though, come to find out, these are apparently all classified as Streptocarpus now.) Not as wild about the pinks, but I'll take what I can get. All the Saintpaulias and Streptocarpus that I had (including the few luggage-smuggled from the UK) ended up dying for one reason or another, and I'm glad to get some more cheerful little blooming buddies in here.

Their new home in the living room for now. With that sad aloe and dracaena which needs some serious repotting. It's just staying too chilly in the balcony plant room still. (Which is what got most of the other ones.) Hopefully I will manage to keep these happier than the last ones!

Re-potting my crowded tomato plants into separate pots + accidentally having too many plants for February

I have not had good germination this year for peppers only two of the nine I first started came up, then only two of the six in the second sowing came up. Which is honestly probably for the best as I don't have space for ten pepper plants. My tomatoes did way better than I expected. Nearly all of them germinate with ten out of twelve coming up. Which means I likely be looking to give some of them away to friends. I also need to pot up my black magic jalapeno and most of the tomatoes this week.

This year I had 3 tomato seedlings have their stems eaten right through by slugs. Fortunately I was able to regrow roots on each plant by soaking in water with seaweed solution.

Top pic: the 3rd plant this happened to showing the new grown roots prior to potting up.

Bottom pic: the 2 closest plants successfully re grown and replaced into their garden bed.

Tomato plants and gardeners are amazing, resilient individuals!

October 2023: Around The House

A couple of green tomatoes from the volunteer plant growing in our front bed:

I had to prune back these tomato plants in the backyard garden as they had gotten out of hand:

Now the swiss chard can get some light & I can actually find fruit on the pole beans. Not pictured is the box full of green tomatoes I collected from the pruned off bits:

Sunday backyard garden harvest:

The Garden balsam has taken off & jumped out of its bed. This stand started as three plants:

I'm kinda obsessed with my little tomato plants who seem to be loving their new home - also starring: raindrops on their beautiful leaves

Just looking all gorgeous in their new homes and whatnot

Yeah, I guess it wasn't too early to get those tomatoes going after all, even though it has still been getting down below 10C/50F some nights out there with a little supplemental heater action.

All three of the seeds from one of the previous tomato plants that I impulsively put in came up, and seem to be doing well--if growing sort of slowly for now. Waiting until they get a little bigger to make thinning decisions.

The 'Totem' seems to be happy enough there, and already started putting out some bloom buds.

Then there's 'Vilma'.

Some of those have started opening up already. I know other growers were saying that both of these do yield pretty much nonstop, but I really wasn't expecting the blooming to start up until it warms up some more in there.
