Micro mini update on day 169/2. The nutes I added yesterday to the tomato plants caused that rear corner pod to sprout.  |

Day 175 and still producing luscious little tomatoes. I did some major pruning on this plant to give the other plants room to grow with plenty of light too.
See ya next time.

Reminds me of the old Energizer Bunny commercials. They keep going, and going, and going......  |

R&R and nutes on day 182. Still growing strong but I did give it a major 'haircut' this morning. As strong as this plant is it shouldn't effect it at all. I'll be eating toms again in a week. :-)

Very poor photo but at day 189 it is still producing even after a major pruning. Looking closely you can see the plant is covered with flowers or mini toms everywhere.

We're now on day 203 or there abouts. That's 29 weeks divided by 4 is over 7 months now and this thing is still producing. It's now covered with little green balls and lots of flowers too. Very nice after the pruning I gave it.
It'll be a nice harvest this time. :-)

Out of curiosity, how much water does your plant seem to be drinking? It looks like you're giving it nutes every two weeks still, but I'm curious about the water usage  |

If I leave the plant unintended for two days, the 'Add Water' notice comes on in my Harvest machine. (1/2 gallon every two days?) Tomato plants drink up water like a sponge. If I don't add water at the end of their day, I will the next morning.

Day 210 and this plant is loaded. Added nutes and tried to count them all and couldn't count that high... LOLOL I also see many many more flowers.

And some of the tomatoes are big! Looks like you will be getting plenty of Vitamin C soon!

Just a NOTE. I believe the reason for such a big/huge abundance of tomatoes was because I pruned the 'pea-doodley' out of this plant and when it came back, this was the results.

Say, does anybody know of Mini bell peppers??? Any such thing? I buy the smallest ones I can find and still have to throw about the last 1/3 away. I'm looking for small peppers.

Rick, I bought these seeds in 2018, so they were probably packed in 2017. They made perfect little 2 inch bell peppers.
You are welcome to try them and see if they will still germinate.
I looked for Pretty N Sweet bell peppers on the net, and they are now all F1's that look like the mini peppers you buy in bags in the grocery store.
These are supposed to be an heirloom variety, and they have the same name, but traditional bell pepper shape.
If you want to take a chance on them, PM me your name and address and I will send them to you. They will have to be mercilessly pruned in a Harvest!
