Tomato Development

Just after the first bloom of the jalapeños, my tomato starts showing flower growth too! Oh, I just feel that my plants love me back. I also noticed that few stems were branching out, expanding even more. I’m so excited to finally see some tiny tomatoes coming out of these precious flowers!

First Bloom

I was so happy to finally see my jalapeño developing flowers. I know that I might have pollinating problems ahead, since I’m growing them indoors. No butterflies, bees or flies to help them so I need to artificially pollinate it for a successful growth. I read that dabbing at the flowers with q-tip and then rub it on the next flower might do the trick. Let’s see. I’ll post an update on how it goes.

DIY: Hanging Plant Stand


2009
06.05

 

The materials used to make the plant stand were all taken from the available supplies I can grab at home. The bottom support was the base used on our Christmas tree stand. Then find left over woods and nails from your previous DIY projects.

 

Materials:

 

Christmas tree stand

2 Woods, one longer than the other

Nails

2 to 4 J hook clamp with nails or use ordinary nails

Tape

Hammer

 

 

Directions:

 

1.     Form the framework “T” and nail in the center to secure the position. You can also put a tape around it to stabilize it.

2.     Place the hook clamp with nails each side where the pots need to be hanged.

3.     Put the framework on the stand.

 

 

Looking for materials you already have and a little touch of creativity can save you bucks and gives your plant a suitable place for hanging.
