Micro Tomatoes - First Fruit

Here is what the micro tomatoes look like today.  Plenty of flowers... 


 

...and the first little tomato has appeared on one of the Orange Hat plants.

 

 

These two became too tall to fit under the grow light.  They seem to be doing alright on the cat tree, though.  :)

Micro Tomatoes - First Flower

  Early this month, I potted up most of the micro tomatoes that were sown November 22nd of last year.  A trip to Canadian Tire is in order; I need more potting soil for the remaining two.

  One of the Orange Hat micros has produced a flower, with more about to open any day.  :)  They seem to be ahead of Tiny Tim in terms of developing buds.

 


 Time will tell whether my grow light will adjust enough to allow room for these plants.  I read after the fact that some micro tomatoes aren't as "micro" as I thought!  I think these varieties will grow ~6-12 inches tall, but another 4-6 inches needs to be added to that, taking the depth of the pots into account.
