Two of five seedlings have already set fruit — Black Zebra and Jelly Bean Yellow.
And that doesn’t count the volunteer seedling in the nextdoor neighbor’s planter that is likely from seeds carried by birds or varmints. Both households are waiting to find out what the fruit look like.
Two other seedlings, San Marzano and Indigo Rose, have already bloomed.
Only Amish Gold languishes without flowers. I lay the blame on its location getting less direct sun.
I did not expect fruit to set until after Memorial Day. I will have to force myself to be patient to see if the fruit mature, languish, or drop off.
