Baby Fruit Plants Update: They're growing!

By: Pen-Pal Productions on 7:00 AM

It's been beautiful outside this week, 60's and not a cloud in the sky.  It feels incredible, after a long, dark Alaskan winter.  I'm in a better mood, my family is in a better mood, and my plants are soaking it up.  We've been spending more time outside; the sun doesn't even set until 10:00pm!

My strawberry plants are starting to bloom pretty little flowers, there's a new one almost daily.  Two of them produce white flowers and one is producing pink.  I was not expecting flowers yet, so it's a pleasant surprise.  My tomato plants are growing too, the one in the window sill is growing much quicker than the upside-down hanging plant.  I've been watering at least every other day, these babies are thirsty!  

I also re-potted some of my herbs: basil, cilantro, and chives.  I was a little nervous because they didn't look so great after their initial repotting, but they've since perked up and are loving their new location (I literally rearranged our dining room and moved the table against the window to ensure the most sunlight possible will reach the plants that don't fit on my hanging shelf.)  No update on my raspberry plant, it's doing fine but nothing too exciting has happened yet.
