Tomatoes 2014

3 varieties, 12 seeds = 12 plantlets. I see them going to bloom.

And what's happening outside?

I'm happy! I have south direction loggia and ... I must be realistic, not to "overplant" it. I hope to get good cherry tomato crop :). And I've got several fuchsia varieties. These are one of my favourite plants. Several young plants I've grown from seeds.

grown from seeds, mixed colours

 
from seeds, package promised 10-15 cm high, I already doubt 


also from seeds

lovely fragrant variety

most likely freesias will not bloom. Night were quite cold, when I placed pot outside. 
 

 some with flower buds already

 variety not known

 ready for pinching soon.
 
 
several varieties, waiting inside, when it becomes warmer.
 
 
... and cherry tomatoes - only 3 pots outside. I'm not sure, if it's warm enough for all pots to be placed outside.

Miniature and semi- miniature african violets (saintpaulias)

I admire these tiny plants. The major part of my collection are minis and semi- minis. I've tried to choose the best pictures of plants from my and my mum's collections.
