Container Gardening Season 2 – Week 16: Baby Tomatoes, Pepper and Eggplant Flowers
This week our first tomatoes appeared on our cherry tomato plants and our mysterious heirloom tomato plant–though we see some signs of bottom end rot. Also, Arlen updates on his onion experiment and our jalapeno pepper plan is flowering like crazy. This isour second year attempting to grow fruits, vegetables and herbs in containers on our patio in the city. Each week we update with what’s new, good or bad, in our patio garden. This year we are growing: Basil Cherry Tomatoes Cilantro Dill Green Onions Eggplants Habanero Peppers Jalapeno Peppers Spinach Strawberries and a random heirloom tomato plant given to us as a gift Theme music by DoKashiteru – bit.ly

hey could you look at my videos and subscribe to my channel and also great stuff you might need to go to lowes and get some blossom end rot stuff
And that heirloom tomato? look like a yellow pear tomato
i dont think those are onions. i think they are shallots. well they are in the sam fam but yeah i? think they are shallots
@souless1985 We originally planted an onion though, and I don’t think you? can get shallots from planting an onion.
How long does a cherry tomato plant? need to grow to that size? Mine is taking pretty long to grow any bigger from its seedling size.
@fumblies2 It took us 16 weeks, which included some unseasonably cool weather during our Chicago spring. It may take less time if you live in a warmer climate. We also started our plants from seeds, in doors, which may? have some influence depending on how your plants were started. If you check out our most recent videos, they’re now about 10 feet tall.
That bottom-end rot? tomato looks like some sort of roma. Put in crushed eggshells to supplement the tomato with calcium.
