Chantentais Flowering

My Charentais plants are starting to flower. This is the first time that I have grown Charentais and I was surprised as to how small the flowers are. You can barely see them in the picture above.

These are male flowers. I expect female flowers to start appearing in a week or so.

May Lilies


I had two Lilies bloom this weekend.

The one to the left in the picture above is "Big Bang" from the Lily Garden.

I don't know the name of the one to the right. I purchased it from Home Depot a couple of years ago with a bunch of other bulbs.

First Cherry Tomatoes

I picked my first Cherry Tomatoes today!

These are from the Sun Gold Cherry Tomato plant that I transplanted almost 3 months ago (see this blog entry).

This is the same time that I had my first Cherry Tomatoes last year (see this blog entry). So despite the unseasonably cold weather we have had this spring, I am "on schedule".

This Sun Gold Cherry Tomato plant is now 8 feet tall and is about to out grow the Texas Tomato cage. I need to decide soon as to whether I should cut off the tops to stop it from growing any taller or let it start draping over the cage.
