2009 Garden Pictures: May 27th

This is an exciting update, as the wait for blooms on my tomato plants (at least one of them) is over. Also, with the crazy heat & humidity lately, a lot of my various pepper plants have started bolting quite nicely! As always, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions, comments, etc.. If you'd like your Gardening blog linked on here, please also let me know. Thanks - Steve




Bananna Pepper (A little bit of growth on this one):






California Wonder Bell Pepper (Growing very nicely since being potted up to its final container):






Cheapie Target Red Sweet (Yolo Wonder) Pepper:






Cherry Tomatoes (First one is over 4 feet tall now with at least 3 bud clusters, if not more. Two of which have a few flowers open...see previous blog post & One of which I found a wee mater growing on this morning! =) I'll post my first wee mater pics sometime this weekend):





One of the handfull of bud clusters from the first plant above...





Dill Weed (May end up removing the 2nd plant in this pot as the first one is taking over & making it so the smaller plant isn't getting the light it needs):






Dwarf Lime Tree (Almost doubled in size since I received it a little over a week ago! Very healthy plant):






Early Girl Hybrid Tomatoes (I expect these to be the next of my tomato plants to flower...Probably by the end of this weekend...bud pics below):










Emily's Indian Princess Nasturtium's (This basket is all I have left of them...recently added an inch or so thick layer of Canadian Sphagnum Peat on the top):






Garlic Chives (Unfortunately at a stand still for the last 2 weeks or so. I have yet to figure out why. Hopefully, the knowledgable folks on GardenWeb will be able to help me with this one):
