Went out this morning to water the plants that i really had no hopes for and found that the sweet 100 is actually putting on fruit. My first season was so bad for tomatoes; they put out flowers but very few actually bore any fruit. With it getting cold soon i doubt that it will produce for very long but they're still fun to have around just as an experiment. Like a lot of things in life, i don't expect them to last forever... sigh...
The jalapeños are going too, just 2 so far. And i planted some black seed simpson lettuce too, just one row but maybe i'll do successive plantings every few weeks so i'll have plenty.

And the angel trumpet and datura from seeds have really done well so far. Its kinda neat to know how such a tiny little seed becomes a total plant. maybe i should have got into bio instead of chem :) the vine is in a SIP planter and i have absolutely no problems with it, it never wilts from lack of watering. the angel trumpet though wilts easily if i dont watch it close. i'm gonna have to make a big SIP container for it out of a tote or something... oh and i have some carnations that i started in a pot a while back that i treated like total crap (forgot to water, left in blazing sun, the works) and they're STILL putting on buds and going to bloom. I almost just tumped out the whole pot a month ago, glad i didn't.
