We are so pleased with these little guys. We planted two from seed and just in case we went ahead and bought a plant from the garden center. All three are thriving and producing peppers!

Tomato Fruiting: Happy Tomatoes
We were out of town this weekend and came home to some very happy tomatoes. These are red tomatoes when ripe and it doesn’t look like it will be long until they start turning color. Since they claim to be the world’s smallest tomatoes I would think that they are at their full size.

Melon Sprouting: First Day of Life!
We were lucky enough to catch this little guy on his first day of life. As we were working in the garden on Saturday April 19 this guy caught my husband’s eye. We were excited to see him and by night time the sprout was starting to open and we could see the green leaves, can’t wait to see how he looks today.
