Rain due Sat. cold spell following next week, don't expect much more ripening.
I have realized what you see for fruit, I "fathered" .
I bought this plant as a lark, to see if I could grow here in Az.
On sale from Tractor Supply, had to try, , ,
All summer, bloomed like crazy, but no bees, or any insects.
Blossoms dried up and fell off, I started trimming off the dead ones, to speed the process.
I caught a vid of some woman speaking of pollinating tomatoes, I tried it.
Finally I learned how, in Sept. I was only getting one tomato at a time, three so far, by Ma Nature
I bumped that,
What you see here are mine, my babies, by my hand.
Sort of a Frankenstein crop.
What did you DO this summer ? ?
Did a recount on budding tomatoes, yesterday, I found another 5 peanut sized, have started.
Ma Nature must have felt a bit guilty, & went back to work.
23 started,
Cold snap due next week.
