Tomatoes

OMG!!!!

LOOK!!!!

Courgette

This one has sprung up no problem. It's a weird plant. Kind of slithers along the ground and changes so fast. You can practically watch it.

I stuck it in this pot. I'm not sure how it'll do in there but we'll see. Where will the courgettes settle? That I don't know. They come out of the flowers I think, but there's not much room for them to sit. Maybe they'll hang over the edge?

Rewarded

Finally - I've been rewarded for the tough early work with the sweet peas. I've spotted my first flower!

There's a few more coming my way too. They're looking pretty special. I think they've forgiven my recent neglect and are ready to start they're summer showing.

Federer and Murray are currently battling it out in the centre court final at Wimbledon. The question is - are the sweet peas a good omen?

Neglect

After weeks of neglect I had a good go today to try to salvage what I could. The outdoor cucumbers bought it. Min said they just vanished one day - he'd gone to water them and there they were gone.

The French lavender is looking decidedly ropey - I don't know what is wrong with that, and there were white bug eggs on a lot of the chilli seedlings. So far, so bad.

To my surprise both the indoor and outdoor tomatoes appear to be going great guns. The indoor ones have gotten pretty dry. I'm hoping they'll like the new trays that I bought them today. Fingers crossed they'll respond to my emergency resuscitation measures!

They've even got little yellow flowers sprouting. Min reckons this is where the tomatoes will come from. Here's hoping...
