Just for the Fun of It - Wk 2

The tomatoes have grown appreciably, visibly, although I'm not sure that's it's easily seen in the photo. They don't get much morning sun, but get about 4 hours of afternoon sun. I will leave them located where they are for now, but the summer afternoon sun may be too much for them.

The plastic pots are on the left side, terra-cotta, on the right..growth looks to me about equal..the plants in terra-cotta seem like they are slightly ahead of the plants in plastic containers.






The Hatch Chili Peppers did not grow as much as the tomato's, but the individual plants that I transplanted to 4" pots did show a growth spurt. This photo also shows an older pepper that was propagated a couple of weeks before the others..

These guys get mostly morning sun (2-4 hrs) & some afternoon sun & but they're not growing as fast as the tomato's, in spite of getting more sunlight.

In the case of both, all I want is 1 plant, of each..I propagated expecting a 50% attrition rate, but they fooled me & all of them lived. If they all grow-on, I will give away the extra plants.
