Hello & welcome back to Tiffany’s Garden blog! Thank you
all for hanging in there with me this long, your support is truly appreciated.
This week was a very encouraging week. My tomato plants are growing beautifully
and have no signs of disease. My jalapeno plants are still growing very well,
however, my cayenne pepper plants are not really showing any sign of vegetable
growth. My shell beans are growing beautifully, and my eggplant is bulking up. For
the most part all of plants are growing right on schedule. However, my cabbage
and lettuce plants needed some more TLC. So, I added more fertilizer to them,
removed any dead leaves and watered them heavily. Hopefully over the course of
the next two weeks they begin to show strong signs of growth. This week I also
pinched off the apical buds of my tomato plants. The apical bud is simply the
most active part of the plant that grows the fastest. The rapid growth causes
our plants to grow straight up, tall and skinny, instead of out wide and bushy.
To pinch the apical bud, you simply cut (or literally pinch) the point of
growth to generate new branching outwards. I am extremely excited to see where
this garden takes me, continue to follow me down this journey of success.
Peace, Love, & Veggies! 🍄
Tiffany
