So the Sugar Pod Snow Peas that I planted outside have long since germinated. They are three weeks old today. Here´s a slideshow of their progress so far:
They have an elaborate leaf structure that I really like.
The Bloomsdale spinach is finally starting to do something. I planted a row and a half of it, and I don´t know if the full row failed to germinate or was just eaten by slugs, but the half row is all I have now. They´ve just put out their primary leaves:
Indoors, the Maglia Rosa cherry tomatoes are finally bearing fruit. The tomatoes are oblong, making them resemble Romas.
It´ll be interesting to see if their taste differs substantially, as well.
More exciting greenhouse news: the pimientos de padrón have budded and bloomed!
I´ve been pollinating them just like the tomatoes. I can´t wait for the peppers! If they follow the same timeline as the tomatoes, then it´ll probably be another month at least before the fruit appears and starts to ripen, but at least I can pick them while they´re still green.
