Our tomatoes are getting huge! They are ready to be transferred to larger pots. We are only keeping one of them, however. The other two will get new homes. If we had room, I would plant them all. I am more than thrilled to have one in our small garden though. We have to save room for other veggies if we want a variety.
This is a close up of one of the Super Sioux Tomatoes. The oval shaped leaves are the cotyledon. These are present before the seed germinates. The leaves sprouting off to the left and the right with three points to them, are the true leaves. These are produced after germination. The plant will continue to produce these leaves until its growth period has ended.
Our basil finally popped up about a week ago! To the left and the right are the cotyledon. The tiny leaves in the middle are the true leaves beginning to develop.
Our latest arrivals are the parsley plants. They popped up just a couple of days ago! I planted a few extra seeds thinking that they weren't going germinate. However, the first ones planted have managed to push their way through the soil. They may have taken a little longer than usual as parsley likes to geminate at temperatures around seventy degrees. It was much chillier than that when we started planting. I may have buried them a little deeper than I should have too. Parsley also has a long germination period of 14 to 21 days. Despite all of their challenges, they're here now!
