Microscopic tomato????

Well.....

I THOUGHT I had planted several pots of calendulas.......

Turns out that more than half are NOT Calendulas.... but rather..... radishes? Which... being planted in not very deep pots have not made good radishes... but have flowered.

I kept looking at them.... as the flower stalk went up.... wondering why they looked so odd.... but it wasn't until I was staring at a bunch of little white flowers.... instead of a big calendula flower....that I realized what must have happened.

I remember you saying something like that might happen.
Don't feel bad, I don't remember the last time I bought black eyed pea seed and I know I mixed the packets I had. Well I have 5 plants in what should be a 30' row.

You're funny. No it's a Sweet 100 cherry or I've got really big hands.​

Thanks. King Arthur is a really good short season, cool weather bell pepper. If left to full maturity, they will turn red. I currently have four out there that are even bigger than this one. This one got turned into delicious pepper, eggs and bacon.
