Ciao MrClint,
Those Sungolds look great. John and I are both
growing them. I'm sure he'll chime in soon with how his
plants are doing. So far the only
plants in my garden with any sort of blush going on are Sungold F1 (
seeds from John), Kimberley in a 15 gal IKEA bucket on my driveway, and Whippersnapper in Munchkin's garden. Everything's got fruit set now including the Opalka that I rooted from a sucker because I didn't have enough for that row. Opalka is my sauce machine, the only variety I grow more than one
plant of...6 to be exact. The other pokey ones are Earl's Faux Faux (supposed to be
potato Leaf but mine are Regular Leaf) and Berkeley Tie Dye (I accidentally beheaded it while transplanting it so I had to root what was left). Both of those are about 3' tall now with lots of
flowers and a few fruits. The real Aunt Gertie's Gold (the other one in that
growing hole is a Regular Leaf cherry..the real deal is a
potato Leaf golden beefsteak) also has a few small fruits on it. Driveway
plants (Kimberley, Mountain Princess, and Golden Dwarf Champion) all have wilt and probably won't survive much longer. Patio Orange and Silvery Fir
tree are holding their own on the front patio. Blossom drop is running rampant due to the high heat and humidity we've been having the last few weeks, but forecast is for cooler weather and some rain this weekend, yay.
Cheers,
Julianna
