Day 31: 09/11/16 - Marvel Stripe

One month in and going strong. 

This test has been very successful.

Day 90: 09/05/16 - Patio Princess

25+ tomatoes kicking and getting bigger every day.

Day 25: 09/05/16 - Marvel Stripe

Still going, still growing.

Outside during the day, inside at night 

due to dropping temperatures and strong storms

Day 1: 09/04/16 - Green Zebra Test

In an amazing stroke of luck today, 

I found a Green Zebra at the farmers market.

Made the purchase, and headed home.

You may have already guessed what is coming next, 

but here's a step by step, so you can see the prep work. 

( This is the same thing I did with the Marvel Stripe Tomato test. )

First, I fill the pot to about 1 inch from the top with potting soil.

Then I slice the tomato (which, IS supposed to be green)

I then cut a wedge from the slice round.

Pick the wedge I like best 

( I chose the smallest, because I plan on eating the rest. )

Place it in the center of the pot...

Fill about 3/4 of an inch of dirt onto the slice, 

add some water to the soil, 

set it in the window... and hope.

Hope is the best I've got here,
as I've only done this once before... 

but with 100% success,

so.... here's hoping.

Day 86: 05/30/16 - Memorial Day

"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!
