The older group of three outgrew the light stand so I had to rig up something. Pickles suggested moving a table under two plant hangers and hanging light fixtures from them. Good suggestion! There’s room for a second fixture, which will be needed.
These older micros are full of unripe tomatoes. I wish we could get some warmer afternoons so I could put them on the porch for a dose of real sun but the weather hasn’t been cooperating. This is ‘Jochelos’, now 8" tall and 9" wide, will eventually have golden cherries. Not shown is LIlle Lise which is in the middle of the three.
And this is ‘Red Robin’, already 10” x 10”.
This is the most recent group of five varieties: Groovy Tunes, Chibikko, Gelbes Topftomaten, Birdie Rouge and Pinocchio Orange. They were all started Dec 14 and are on the regular light stand. Two of them are growing a lot faster than the other three and needed repotting a few days ago. ‘Groovy Tunes’ on the left has pretty chartreuse foliage and is 5-6” tall, 8” wide. The larger one on the right is ‘Chibikko’ and is 8” tall by 7” wide.
These micros have really scratched the winter “I gotta plant something” itch!
