Garden update

Thus far, we've experienced some hit-and-miss on our plants. Our zucchini wasn't producing as prodigiously as everyone around us said, only producing about one out of four pieces successfully. The rest of them would wither, shrivel and die. We thought it had become diseased so we decided to toss it. Recently, we were told that zucchinis need a lot of space because its roots go out, which a pot definitely does not allow. Whoops. We'll remember that one next time around.

When we bought our strawberry plants, we thought we bought the Sequoia species but it turned out we got one Sequoia and two Quinaults. Not having any experience with the Quinaults, we decided to give it a chance. It didn't so well. It didn't produce much and when it did, the fruit did not look very appealing. At the same time, the single Sequoia was growing very well, in fact, it was sending out runners to plant more of itself. We decided it was time to get rid of the Quinault and give the Sequoia more room to grow.

The tomato has been growing and producing very well. Right now we're on our third harvest. What's been surprising is the small size of the Romas. They're the size of cherry tomatoes, not at all the same size as store bought Romas. Despite the size, they taste good! The Romas have fresh and juicy taste to them store bought tomatoes don't have.
