Wow! Look at that cayenne. And the tomatoes! I just have baby peas here. You can eat the weird strawberry...not sure how long for the tomatoes, they look pretty green to me.

Ill try to get some pics of my peas later

Do baby pears count? I have two dwarf Bartletts trees,loaded with babys, bosc pear has a few, Seckel pear has one, Moonglow pear has a bunch, Duchess pear has a bundle, and potomac pear is loaded too. Reliance peach has baby peaches starting to form, and my Belle Of Georgia has a few little ones too! Maxim Strawberrys are starting to make green strawberrys, gooseberry bush has a bunch of berries too! Apples are still blooming around here- to early to tell if any will set yet. Have 5 cayennes that are inside my house that have a bunch of peppers on them too! (the other are outside in greenhouse-getting ready to put in)

Thanks for reminding me....how could I forget! Tons of baby gooseberries

Marina, it looks like your veggies have a real nice start there... good going! My plants are still in their starter pots, waiting for the rain to stop!

I'm only impatient because I want to get back outside & play in the dirt, but it's been raining for a week now! I thought our annual Spring rain vigil had skipped us this year, but we couldn't be so lucky! Last year I had to dig all my peppers, melons & tomatoes back up & put them in pots, so they wouldn't die from having their feet in water constantly, but once the rain stopped & I put them back, they all went nuts & caught right up!

As for your question about the strawberry... it's STILL a strawberry, go ahead & eat it! (Maybe you've noticed that people don't all come in identical or ideal shapes, either!) Actually, there's nothing wrong with the "weird shaped one"... most of the time, srawberries will develop a weird shape if they don't get enough water while they're forming... but yours doesn't look mutated enough for that to be the case... In fact, it looks pretty healthy, to me!

During our hot spell (mid-summer) if I don't water mine 2-3 times a day, some will malform & be smaller than "normal". but they still eat good. If that happens again this year (almost inevitabe), I'll post a picture.

I like big pears, better than babys, lol, they taste alot better! I have 15 pear trees in my orchard, cant wait until the other types are big enough to produce fruit! The seckel pears are small pears when ripe, and are very sweet (often called sugar pears) Also Stuttgarter Gheishirtle (a pear from Germany) pears are small when fully ripe too! Deborah-I agree Bartlett pears are good!

LOL. Radishess... my arch nemisis Thats the one thing I cannot get to work. I would loooove to have some of those.

I know how you feel about possibly doing somethingn wrong... the folks on this site are the sole reason for anything at all growing right now. I have killed evertyhing I have tried to grow instead before this year and I had never tried to grow anything inside before

Hello all. I have my first cherry tomatoes (not quite 1/2" diameter). Amazing enough, the 3 I started upside down are the first with fruit.

Also have the beginning of some peppers.

Good luck everyone!

Ciao all,

Baby pears, plums, cherries, and strawberries are happening. Flowers on snow and snap peas, radicchio is just about bolted its way to heaven along with the bok choi, arugula is struggling with the heat, but the 2nd planting is starting to sprout, red and green romaines are coming along, radishes of various colours and sizes have made their way into salads, carrots are still too tiny to harvest. Only flowers so far on the tomato plants, which just made it into the garden a few weeks ago. Small peppers of various shades, shapes, and sizes are happening but none ripe so far. We've got tons of herbs, but I'm not sure they count as a baby veggie, lol.

Cheers,
Julianna

WHOA sorry so big!!!

'Sparagus-how cool is that ! I wanna do carrots too. I'd freak to pull fresh carrots from the soil !
I wonder if they taste better than the store ones?

* * * *

I have a lot of baby tomatoes and one that already turned red and was harvested and eaten lol. I love growing my own veggies. And the green peppers are very happy. I already save several that are working on becoming very nice peppers indeed. I'm so excited by them. I don't plant many veggies basically just the tomatoes and peppers but I did do a number of different herbs this year and who knows maybe I'll have more next year.

sparagus- where they bitter? maybe it's our soil- i'm up in poconos. i tried first year i washere and honestly they were yucky. very bitter and blech! i've noticed if i buy the organic ones from the store they have a million times better taste!

as for me- i have baby sugar snap peas, a tiny baby cucumber- still has the flower on the end that's how tiny! LOL a bunch of baby baby tomatoes and 1 baby yeloow squash. that's it for now.

Yesterday I had only tomato flowers and today the early girl has a little tomato. What fun!

'Sparagus, maybe the next ones will be good.
I have baby bell peppers, baby basil, baby lemons,
and lots of baby squirrels and one baby rabbit.
Also baby strawberries, the grown ups I eat as soon as they're ripe. The strawberries, that is. LOL !
I let them go one more day before I pick, I like them dark red and sweet.
