First tomato is almost ripe!

Watching it like a hawk! Can't wait to try my first homegrown (by me, I grew up on my mom's summer slicers) tomato. Sungold 100, transplanted mid-May. We have had a lot of heavy rain, not sure if I should give them a little tilling with my fingers to stay away from roots or no. [...]

Year 1 vs Year 2

Last year was my first year gardening and I hadn't even begun considering it until late April. This year I spent December and January scheming and plotting to be ready as soon as the snow was gone. What a difference that has made across the whole garden, but definitely with respect to my peppers and [...]

Tomatoes become latest symbol of America’s affordability squeeze

Tomato prices have soared more than any other food over the past year.

“The tomato has become a symbol of something much deeper,” says Isaac Bernal Carbajo, a New York City chef. “Something as basic as buying fresh vegetables is starting to become a serious financial decision...”

Tomatoes become latest symbol of America’s affordability squeeze

Prices for tomatoes are up 40% over the past year, the biggest increase tracked among products in the Consumer Price Index. Experts say the spike is the result of crop yields and two pillars of President Donald Trump's second term policies. The Iran war has spiked shipping costs. And Trump has slapped tariffs on tomatoes from Mexico, which grows most of America's supply. Outraged consumers are voicing their displeasure online, but the impact is most acute among businesses that rely on tomatoes as a key ingredient. Wayne Humphrey of Snarf’s Sandwiches, which which operates dozens of stores in Colorado, Missouri and Texas, says the price hike will cost him $1.7 million this year.

I planted some tomatoes and cucumbers (and lettuce, but only 2 seeds sprouted and then the seedlings wilted). I transplanted each seedling into its own pot and lined them on the radiator under a south facing window. Sadly I have no balcony. Honestly, I do not expect them to bring me any fruit in my home and plan to give them away. But today I was poking around a cucumber seedling to help break apart the cardboard nursery pot into which I initially transplanted it (the instructions say they can be transplanted to a bigger pot in cardboard pots) and the tomato plant in the neighbouring pot was twitching in the same direction in which I was poking the soil. The very cucumber didn't twitch that much. The pots were not touching one another. I thought I was losing my mind. I do not believe in "the secret life of plants", and even if I was hurting the cucumber seedling and it sent chemical signals, no plant should move this quickly 😱 Took me 5 pokes to realise what was going on 😅

Anyway, if anybody has a garden or a balcony and wants a haunted cucumber or tomato plant, let me know. (You do need to come to Heidelberg to pick it up.)
