Fruit at last!

My tomatoes are fruiting! Granted, the fruit are about the size of olives, but hey! it's a start. :) I am pleased. 4 of the 5 tomato plants have some size of fruit growing. The runt plant does have a flower which is surprising. I had toyed with the idea of pulling the plant out last week. I guess I'll just leave it be and see what happens.

Something is digging into my lettuce pots and chewing on the leaves! I have had to add soil twice. I have moved them onto the front porch. I am guessing it is probably bunnies and maybe they won't try it on the porch. We shall see.

Emotional Lettuce

So, in the last post I mentioned that I re-potted the lettuce plants because they didn't need as much sun as the rest of the plants AND I also mentioned the weather was supposed to be pretty hot this week. So, I moved the newly potted plants to the corner of the driveway where it gets the shade from our tree and a little bit of sun in the afternoon.

Well, yesterday when Max came home he told me that my lettuce plants were all wilted. The leaves were laying flat on the soil. I took them inside to the air conditioning and gave them some cold water. After about an hour or so, they were mostly perked up. I kept them inside overnight and today I put them in the window sill.

I have no idea how much sun they should get or what temperature they grow best at. I didn't have high hopes for them in the beginning when I threw a couple little seeds in the ground but now that they are 4 inches tall, I kinda want to save them.

Any advice would be helpful!

Happy Update

Look how tall and pretty they are!!!

4 out of the 5 tomato plants have little yellow flowers on them. They seem to be doing really well. The guy I got the tomato plants from didn't know what kind they were so I'm excited for them to fruit so I can try to figure it out.

The peppers are also doing well. The leaves are huge! I found a small yellow flower in the center of one of the pepper plants. There really isn't much more to say about them.

Also, my two little lettuce seedlings are doing great! I moved them from the plot to a couple of pots. I didn't want them to have as much sun as the tomato and pepper plants; plus the weather this week is going to be super hot. I hope they will be okay despite the high temps.

We bought a hose and reel so I don't have to make 5 trips to the spigot with my small watering can. :)
