I have not been to the Hastings apartment for over 2 weeks. We have been staying in the city because I have to get up so early for my job which, is downtown. Rich goes back to Hastings 2 or 3 times per week. Last week Rich said that when he got home and looked at the plants, they were all wilted and had fallen over. They hadn't had water for over 4 days and its really, really hot out. Rich gave them a good soaking of water and after a few hours, they all came back...PHEW !
Here is what we have as of today:
22 little green tomatos (on 6 tomato plants).
17 green (they will turn red), hot peppers.
16 big bushy basil plants
6 cucumbers (one really big one).
14 large mint plants with lots of fragrent mint leaves.
Only the eggplant has nothing right now. It does have about 20 yellow flowers so I don't think it will be too long till we some eggplants growing.
So thats it. Still working my a-- off. Today makes 9 days straight 12 hours per day. I did hire someone new today. I hope that she learns fast, is a good worker and stays with us. I need a day off (vacation), bigtime !
