Pink Accordion

Pink Accordion is an heirloom from Territorial Seed. This plant has the least amount of fruit. I don't know if I had blossom drop or they just didn't set. It seems to be coming around just now with a few small fruits popping out. Here is the biggest one.

Grape

Grape. This plant has always been on the smaller side. It is a wide open plant and by that I mean...it's wide open with a lot of space between the branches and leaves. Some plants you have to dig deep to find the fruit, with this it's very spread out. This plant has gone on a growth spurt the last 2 weeks ans has set dozens of small fruit. I think it may be a winner...

Pineapple

Pineapple heirloom from Territorial Seed. This plant is tall, over 4 feet, but not a lot of fruit. The ones that are there are BIG! Look at that big ugly one on top! I just love 'em when they get all scarred and deformed! How cool is that! I think when all is said and done these two fruits will go over a pound each. At first I thought this was the same as Big Rainbow, but now I'm starting to see a difference. We'll see when it comes to taste!

Ananas Noire

This is an heirloom that i am growing for the first time. So far so good. The branch here has 5 nice sized fruit, each about the size of a baseball. there a few other single fruits scattered throughout the plant. I think it's going to set another batch of fruit now as it was covered in blossoms earlier this week. It is about 4 feet tall. The description on the packet said 'Skin is green, purple, orange and yellow. Flesh is bright green streaked in red'. Sounds cool. Hope it tastes cool...

Roma

Here are the Roma's. They are looking fine. This is probably the shortest of the 10 tomato plants I'm growing, but after the yellow pear it has the most fruit. There are maybe 5 other branches that look just like this. Roma is always a good producer in my garden. These will become sauce in a few weeks. I can't wait until I open a jar this winter. That's when I'll really enjoy them

Black From Tula

Here's a mid season update on the progress of the tomatoes. Here is my Black from Tula plant grown from seed I purchased from Seed Savers Exchange. This plant, while not the most vigorous in the garden probably has the best looking green fruit of all my plants. The three shown in the first picture are all looking great. The one in the middle is the size of a baseball. You can see the darkness on the shoulders. I haven't grown them before but so far they are looking great. I can't wait to taste them!
These are some smaller ones growing another foot up the plant. There are several more small fruits on this plant. It looks like it will give me several nice tomatoes throughout the summer!

More with the jumping worms

Another video of the Jumping Worms...

Here's a close up of the creature. I can't seem to get a real good close up picture of these things (they jump right when I get everything lined up). Also, I think this fly may be part of the equation. I noticed it crawling around. When I got close to it , the thing just crawled. It didn't fly away. When looking at it I noticed the end of it (abdomen?) Is colored the same as the jumping worms. I think it was just like a fly that has just emerged and it's wings weren't ready to fly.
