2007-09-08 Weekend Update
A little better picture of the tomato with the proboscis There's another
one that's ripening with a slightly different profile that will be
making it's appearance in a couple of weeks if all goes well, and it
doesn't get eaten before the photo shoot.
The "Black Prince" have started ripening a beautiful copper color, some
with green shoulders, some without. From what I've been reading, they
don't have any shelf life, going "from ripe to tripe" in a matter of a
few days. Hoping to taste them on their better days.
The Bag-o-Potatoes have made a comeback after the bugs had their way
with them, will be interesting to see if they produce potatoes. Two of
the bags had tomatoes starting to grow in them, which I've moved to
different pots for an extended season (I hope), just don't know what
tomatoes they'll be.

My daughters have been having fun with this plant, whatever it is.
they have snapdragon-like orange flowers, and produce pods like
the one you see sticking out to the right. If prodded, touched or
sometimes even looked at funny, they burst open with a spring
loaded bit inside, shooting their seeds quite far. The payload's
usually 2-3 seeds, since the spring takes up a bit of room. They
work well, though - since anywhere I've not mowed is covered with
them. |
