Morning,
My https://steemit.com/gardening/@costopher/how-to-clone-herbs post attracted a lot of attention which surprised me beyond belief (btw, I am so grateful guys) so I thought about giving a very short update on the well being of the little clones.
It's only been 6 days since I transplanted the rooted cuttings; and they've been busy! The roots are colonising the little pots they found themselves in and in a few more days the new plants will be strong enough to be topped (have their main stem cut above a leaf node); this will encourage more growth and sturdier plants.
That's about it with the mint clones.
The squash that I've removed from the greenhouse 9 days ago has been enjoying the outside, even though something attacked it, but it seems it's handling it pretty well. It topped 7 feet now.
A lot of fruit is setting and the first tromboncinos are growing really quickly. Here's one of the longer ones.
My greenhouse is turning into a jungle now with all the plants going at full power.
Tomatoes are formed on the first and second trusses everywhere.
And check out these little guys; my cucamelon plants have tripled in size in the last 9 days; I have tens of cucamelon flowers setting; It's going to be a painful job hand pollinating each of them and unfortunately I can't find any male flowers yet, so the first females will probably die off soon.
That's all from me for now.
Thank you and have a great day!
