Growing Pains

This is our official birth announcement! Our health kick plum tomato plant has 6 small babies growing. We also finally have one small baby burger tomato! So far that's 2 out of 4 plants and each has at least 8 flowers, which will produce tomotoes. I can't wait to cook my homemade pasta sauce with fresh ingredients from my very own garden! Aren't ya proud Ma?

Our zucchini plants had 2-3 flowers each (pictured left) but since the picture was taken, we have lost about 2 flowers each :( Soooo, I did some more research and found out that zucchini has both male and female flowers which will be cross pollinated by the bees (which means I probably shouldnt have tried to drown the bee I saw in there this morning..woops/duhh)

Also, the broccoli plants are getting bigger and I noticed that the stalk is starting to get thicker. Next, I need to figure out when these guys will start producing. As you may also notice, the leaves are still holey but the top leaves are not. I would say that means our Basil Herb Tea Spray has been working :) We have been applying it as necessary.

The carrots have also been sprouting up, we have some tall stalks which I am going to guess are around 6 inches. That means it's time to thin them out again. I'm hoping to create garden "furrows," which is basically what most people picture when thinking of a garden; rows of vegetables. Not sure why but my mind always goes to a cartoon farmer/garden?!

Goooodbye black thumb, Helloooo green!
