cherry tomatoe cross

So while my tomatoes are succumbing to spider mites, and likely some blossom end rot, they are proliferating heavily elsewhere, and I am quite lucky enough to reap them from there, as well!

My Grandmother has a bumper crop-I had forgotten to tell her that they are indeterminate...and thus weren't pinched-ah well- interesting to see the effect of non- pinching- more tomatoes- perhaps too many- they got so tall and numerous they fell right over!

So the only thing I can report that I actually harvested from my own balcony is the teeny-tiny but spicy hot peppers- and a lovely cross pollination of tinytoms & beefstake.

They are incredibly resistant to both the spider mites *and* the blossom end rot!
