Winter Micro Putters

GoDawgs · December 18, 2020

Baby micros! This morning as I was inspecting the plants for possible problems I found four small tomatoes on the Lille Lise. The largest is about ½” wide and they were hidden under the bottom foliage. Lots of blooms on the Jochalos and Red Robin. Playing with these has somewhat scratched the winter garden itch.

I’ve been pollinating three ways; with the electric toothbrush, picking a flower and dabbing other flowers with it and using a pared down Q-tip as shown here, using a separate Q-tip for each variety.

Four days ago I started one each of micros Birdie Rouge, Chibikko, Groovey Tunes, Gelbe Topftomate and Pinocchio Orange. Yesterday the Chibikko was up and this morning was PO's birthday.
