are now up to my knees. they opened some blossoms yesterday, which i think means 1-2 weeks until harvest.
mystery tomato update: they’re small, somewhat pear-shaped, with a nipple on the blossom end. the plant itself is long and wispy rather than thick and bushy like most. any guesses?
i pulled a few test carrots this week...one was orange and full sized, the other two were white and about half the width.
it’s going to be tricky figuring out when to pull these--i planted a blend of six heirloom carrots and apparently they don’t all mature at the same time.
the strawberries are still coming out in slightly freaky shapes. i wonder if it might be because i’m not great at keeping them watered.
the first female zucchini flower opened today--the one day i don’t have a single male flower, of course. so, barring virgin conception, this one will not become a zucchini.

What a cutie pie. I think your mystery tomato is a roma or paste type.
hmm, yeah that's what i thought too at first, but they're so small...they're about one inch long at full size. it occurred to me today that maybe they're a cross, possibly between an opalka (or something similar) and some really small tomato variety.
my tomato is all weepy and wispy too! i bet they are related!
i hope so! i’d love if we had tomato cousins.
