I caught another grasshopper on my tomato plant. I let Figment check it out through the window before I carried it away to the tall grass at the end of our building and let it go. She was only mildly interested. The grasshopper didn't do much other than poop on my hand while I was holding it there. I'm not sure Figment even realized what I had on my hand.
My upside down tomato plant didn't do so well while I was away for about four days. Temperatures were in the upper nineties, clear skies, and no rain. The leaves got all wilted looking, but a few hours after I watered the outdoor plants, they were looking normal again.
The regular tomato plant still has only one tomato(still small and green) but many more flowers on it that it has had in the past. Does that mean it will make more tomatoes? The other plants in self watering containers handled the heat and sun a little better. Of course the day after I got home and gave them all a good soaking, we had thunderstorms moving through the area all day that dumped a decent amount of rain. Wish that would have happened while I was away.
Another "gypsy pepper" ready to be picked. I see a salad in it's future.
