We have fruit!

It’s been about 7 weeks since we planted our tomato plants and we have tomatoes growing. The plant has really grown over the past couple of weeks. I noticed a very small tomato growing about a week ago. They have just continued from there. From my count this morning, we have about 22 tomatoes growing already.  I can’t wait until we can start eating them!

    Do you have to pollinate the blossoms somehow Carly? Or do they self-pollinate?

    Yes, they say to “shake” the branches that have flowers on them….I shake them every other day or so. It seems to be working well.

    Not fair I only have about 3 tomatoes from 6 plants. My plants have tripled in size over the last two weeks and I have flowers but the tomatoes are taking for ever. I have two cherry tomatoe plants and they aren’t even the ones with tomatoes.
