Week 8


All 3 plants now have flowers and I have been nudging the newly opened flowers for pollination.
Here are pictures of 1 red and one yellow tomato plant.
Newly formed flower buds are hiding under the leaves.

Because of the pruning of the center stalk, my plants are growing wide and full rather than tall and spindly-thin. Now into week 8 I have only had to raise the hood to the second notch.

Now I am off to buy my 3rd and 4th bottle of distilled water. The plants are thirsty, but use far less water than I anticipated!
