Mary’s Mighty Minis 1-19-18

I see lots of tomatoes and flowers on them.

While I wouldn’t say considerable, I definitely did toss a fair amount of buds, but with how many fruit are already growing it didn’t bother me because there would’ve been absolutely no room for them to grow anyway.  There are so many fruit already I don’t think the plants could sustain them all (or rather, the small basin of water and nutes probably couldn’t have supported them all).  And it was so dense that when I went in to cut one stem with needle nose scissors I’d snap a neighbor!  It was even hard to extract what I had cut, it was such a tangle.  I know I shouldn’t have planted in each pod, but I was so tickled at cloning them, I just had to.

Another one to follow! It will be interesting to see how they do in the smaller machines.

I finally have color change!

I had to cut more foliage out because some of it, alarmingly, was turning brown. I hope it’s not sick. In any event I have more ripening going on.

Great abundance of toms. What did you think of the taste, Mary? And would you plant these again and why?

I’ve picked a few to roast.

Oven roasted the last batch and made salsa out of them.  (I augmented them with some tasteless store bought tomatoes).  Also used my AG cilantro and chives!

I only roast them if they are bland or too tart, to concentrate the sugars. These were a bit tart so I roasted them to take the edge off.
