There's a special time in every edible plant's life when it approaches functionality. That time is coming for two of my favorite crops.
Here are the first two tomato flowers I found on my tomato plant. There are a few more now. Thank goodness tomatoes are self-pollinating.
My chard also looks like it's coming along better now. It's recovering from whatever was hurting it. I'm a little surprised at this chard. It was supposed to be 'Rainbow,' but the stems are only one color. Either it's an extremely unlikely coincidence, or I just got a variety of red chard. It doesn't concern me too much, though--the nutrition and taste are what I'm after.
Next post: knocked out by roses.
