This year has been a little strange in that I have a lot of double and triple fused blossoms that set fruit. While they are somewhat interesting they are really are not that great when you slice into one, IMHO.
Photo one is a JD's Special C-Tex, a triple, that was set out January 17th in a Kozy Coat. Most of the double and triples are on the plants that were set out Jan 17 and Jan 23. Must be a weather thing.
Photo 2 and 3 - The 1st ripening tomato for this season in my Secret Garden is what I am calling a miniature or dwarf Rambling Red Stripe F1 in a hanging basket. The seed came from a pack of Rambling Red Strip F1 and when it germinated the seedling was extremely healthy in every way except it stayed small and tightly compact all its life. It is why I decided to grow it in an overpriced hanging basket.
Photo 4 - Tomato Muriel that last year had tomatoes till frost so I did her again this year.
Photo 5 an 6 - Tomato Indian Stripe
Photo 7 - A six-pack, 4 Tasti-Lee F1 and 2 Principle Borgese
Photo 8 - Tomatillo, I bought 3 yesterday at HEB for $1 each. I read on here that you need two plants for them to set fruit. Got these for some Tomatillo Salsa Verde.
Photo 9 and 10 - 1st cucumbers this season that will be ready to pick in a day or so.
Photo 10 - One of my cucumber patches that was planted in three staggered stages.
Photo 11 - Corn sown March 1 is starting to tassel.
Photo 12 - 1st jalapeno pepper of the season.
Photo 13 - Lots and Lots of dill for pickling cucumbers, okra and jalapenos.
Photo 14 - Texas Early White onions.
Photo 15 - Potato plant with new potatoes breaking the soil beneath.
Photo 16 and 17 - Every garden needs a little color, right? This 16 year old pot of cacti has bloomed every year at about this same time of April. Notice how all the little yard critters gang around to observe and celebrate this special occasion knowing it will only be in bloom a day or two at most.
