A few of the tomato plants are 5 or 6 inches high, but not showing any signs of fruit yet. I can only keep my fingers crossed. All the plants are strong and still standing tall on their own, even in their smallish pots.
Last year I planted a lot of sunflowers. And they all went crazy growing curved and twisted around, got to about a foot tall, and then one by one died- without ever flowering. This year, I planted about half what I did last year and three have made it to July. Two are doing okay (about 4 inches tall), but the third one..
.. is getting ready.
The cucumber plants are flowering like mad and I'm hoping that means tons of delicious home-grown cucumbers are in my future.
I also noticed for the first time today, that my poppy plants actually have a bud. It's supposed to be red, but I'd take any color.. just so glad they are still alive.
And there is my tiny, tiny strawberry plant. Don't let this picture fool you, the pot is actually less than 2 inches across. I suppose at this point, I will just try to keep it alive for the season and then look for a good place outside so next year.. strawberries. For real.
There are also several pots of other things that, hopefully, will be flowers. And I think I'm also growing clovers? You never know what kinds of bonuses you'll get with potting soil I guess.
