It’s been just about a month now since I planted the four tomato seeds<\/a> and I’ve finally managed to lay my hands on a camera again. So here they are!<\/p>\n

\"Day
Fathima, Virender, Chun Li and Noah one month old :)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a close up of Fathima:<\/p>\n

\"Day
Remember I planted her two inches deep, so she's actually even taller!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a comparison with how she was just 12 days ago:<\/p>\n

\"Day
Our Caretaker Mani - This was just 12 days ago!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The time will soon come when I’ll have to transplant them again into even bigger gamlas<\/em>. Perhaps two weeks more. In the meantime, Geek Gardener (GG) has kindly consented to send me some of his indeterminate tomato seeds. I’ve also ordered a packet from the UK.<\/p>\n

I’ve learnt since that Fathima and Co. are determinate tomato plants. Meaning they’ll give one big burst of tomatoes and then die off. I’m not sad for them – that’s their nature after all, but it’s sad for me :( . The seeds I’ve requested GG to send along will be indeterminate ones which will grow like vines (upto 25 feet!) and give fruit throughout the year. Let’s see how things go. My online journal will continue!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
