Day 171: 08/21/16 - Super Sweet Day 10: Marvel Stripe
With the season now coming to a close, the only remaining plants
from the Burpee Super Sweet 100 left is Fight Club
and The Island of Misfit Tomatoes.
Both are showing signs of resprouting more flowers.
Not sure they know their season is ending.
This bowl has been filled and refilled now 7 times.
I don't have pictures today of Patio Princess. but it's doing just fine.
And now for the amazing news.
The experiment of planting slices of a tomato has worked!!
The first image here shows three signs of growth.
Nope. Upon closer look, there are actually multiple signs around this one below.

Day 161: 08/13/16 - Plenty Growth, and a New Test
Tomatoes are popping up and ripening fast now.
Albeit, the smallest tomatoes I have ever seen in my life, but powerful little ones.
The pictures are deceiving.
The tomatoes are about the size of the tip of an index finger.
Some the size of the tip of a pinky.
"Patio Princess" has weathered many a storm outdoors this summer.
This one is going on Day 67 of it's life.
As a tester for next season, it hasn't done so bad.
Starting to show signs of flower pods.
And now, a new test.
Planted on 08/11/16, I am working off a Youtube video I saw about
growing tomato plants from a slice of an actual tomato.
With the purchase of a Heirloom "Marvel Stripe" tomato, sliced and placed
1 inch below the surface, We shall see if this works. No guarantee.
