The Come Back Kids!

It's amazing what a little patience can do. Or just my penchant for not tossing out live plants. I almost... *almost* did it. Man am I glad I didn't! Two great come backs here on the ol' homestead.

First - Goldie

As you all might recall, she got pretty munched by a swarm of tomato worms. But I hung on, clipped off some of the dying stems, and kept watering (and added osmocote like all the others). I believe I even showed you an in-progress pic.

Take a look at her now! 

Bushy, full of leaves, and better yet - blossoms! 

Heck yeah, she's going to give some tomatoes! How could she not at this point? I'm watching carefully for those nasty worms, of course. But how cool is this!

Second - those Pepper Plants!

Again, I was sure they were on their last legs (figuratively speaking, of course, lol). I had almost decided to pull them up, empty the pots, and see about planting some seeds. But then I decided to just water the heck out of them for a few days, see what happened. Couldn't hurt, right? And then toss them when they finally did give up the ghost.

Lo and behold - those things are producing again! Look at all these:

There are *4* peppers of varying sizes on just *one* plant! 

And the other plant (here's a pic. Not a good one, but a pic) is loaded with blossoms too! Just... amazing.

So now, of course, I water the heck out of everything, everyday. Let's see what happens!
