For weeks now everyone has been talking about the abundance of tomatoes in their gardens while I sat here with my lonely non-blossoming tomato plants in their pot. However, over the past week the appearance of a few little guys has finally emerged!
I knew all my plants had been put through a lot of stress enduring a trip from New Jersey to Pennsylvania and various movements around the yard in search of a sunny location. Between all of the movement and the extreme heat this June, I was certain my first gardening endeavor was going to be a lost cause.
I have always had an interest in gardening, but wasn’t able to start a traditional garden this year due to our move on June 1st. I figured the next best thing would be to start a small garden in pots! This was certainly not as easy as I thought would be. My plants required a lot more attention than I had anticipated, when the heat and sun were extreme I sometimes had to water a multiple times a day to avoid them from wilting. I’d lost my cucumbers, loose-leaf lettuce and bambino eggplant by the time June came to an end and I’m shocked (and grateful) my cherry tomatoes have made it this far! Hopefully I’ll have a nice bounty of cherry tomatoes to brag about by the end of the summer. :)
