Growing season continues...

For anyone who was wondering if I have been successful in growing in the back yard here is an update on where they plants are. Nothing edible...yet, but hopefully soon.

We currently have 18 tomatoes, and over a dozen blossoms. One of the tomatoes is finally starting so show color other than green. I have contemplated trying fried green tomatoes, but I have been holding out hoping that they will turn red.





We have had a rough time with the cucumbers. There was a freeze around Thanksgiving, and I am not sure this plant every fully jumped back. We have one plant left and as of today it has 3 cucumbers on it. There have been other cucumbers before these...but they didn't make it. Hopefully these 3 will.



I went out to water today and for the first time I found a flower on the strawberry plants. Make it 3 flowers I found today, YEAH! The plants still look very healthy we just haven't had any flowers until today. Super happy about that!

I've noticed that my winter garden tends go pretty slow, especially when it's colder. Hope you cover it with the freeze warning! I can't believe your tomatoes are looking so healthy in December!
