And So It Begins...

I think, that is, it is quite possible, that I am beginning to see the first rosy blush of rouge upon my babies.


Well, one of them, at any rate. You tell me. Mind you, it was dark in my room when I took this picture.

It could be just wishful thinking/hoping/pleading with the multiverse.


You see, the plant is overburdened with fruit and I am too attached to remove some for the benefit of the majority.

The other part of it is, I've never seen Cherry tomatoes quite this large before. They're as big, if not bigger than a walnut. I wish I had a walnut for comparison to show people.


With the temperatures in my room being what they are (80F+), I don't see these ripening quickly without drastic action. To that end, I'm going to risk the high electricity bill and run my Air Conditioning for a few hours per day to see if it makes a difference in the process.


That's about it for now. Thanks for reading. Have a fantastic day. :)

What A Difference A Day Makes...

...More appropriately a few weeks.


The tomatoes have grown. Wow, have they ever grown!

There is one big tomato growing on the side and I don't know how big it will get. It is showing no signs of slowing down in its growth. Within reason, I mean this is a cherry tomato plant. Of that, I can be sure. However, the size of the cherry tomatoes has yet to be determined. They're far larger than the last cherry tomatoes I grew, that's for sure.


The Lesser Cherry Tomato plant is coming into its own finally. It is now growing flowers all over and will soon join its sibling in producing fruit for a hungry household. I can't wait until they're even with each other and I can finally back off of pruning the Elder Tomato for Height so much.


In other news, the weather has finally cooled off somewhat. Today was a sultry 85 as opposed to the mid to high nineties we'd been having a few weeks prior. It is a relief to be in such comparatively cooler weather. Yay for the coming of Autumn!
