"Big Boy" & "Angus" & "Cash"

"Fight Club"

"Lucille"

"Ethel"

"Shorty"

"The Island of Misfit Tomatoes"

Storms moving in this week so at the end of the day, 

the plants moved back indoors

Days 78 & 79: 05/22–5/23 2016 Some time outdoors

On Friday the 20th, I moved 14 of the plants outdoors for some sunshine.

I left them stay out there until mid day on Sunday the 22nd.

(Due to storms with high winds moving in this entire week,
they will remain indoors for a while.)

Nice little expansion growth beginning on "Ethel."

The "Island of Misfit Tomatoes" is slowly regaining strength, and...

closing in on 15 inches tall.

"Fight Club" enjoyed the sunshine.

And is now topping near 19 inches tall.

And as for "Big Boy"...

He's reached as tall as I will let him get.  39 inches.

(Any taller could create problems with Summer storms)

Other plants (like Ethel) are achieving the 36 inch height.

And now, as of this morning (05/23/16), 

the expansion growth on "Ethel" is doing really well.

(reminder: Ethel was the first to have her top trimmed as an experiment)

Added Bonus: I cleaned the bedroom window!

Day 76: 05/20/16 - Time for a Cage Match!

With the height now getting in the 36 inch range, it's time to bring out the cages.

Big Boy" has officially reached the 3 foot height.

I hot glue'd a "Thunderdome" cage for the "Island of Misfit Tomatoes"

"Fight Club" also has a new cage.   I glued this firm to the pot so I will 

be able to move it indoors easy enough during the summer storms.

"Ethel" (shown below) is my first experiment with trimming.  

I cut the top to stop her upward growth and give her reason to begin to bush out.

She is showing signs of new growth at each branch.

Still need to clean the window.
