Zebra Tomato?

Remember my past posting on tomato? It has begin to produce fruits! Surprisingly, when I look at the fruit it has several dark green patches on it. I was thinking this could be the zebra tomato as I recalled I scattered some zebra tomato seeds sometimes back. I will confirm again the type of the tomato as they grow bigger.


Zebra tomato? Do let me know if you happen to know the variety type

Finally a female flower

Garden Update...everything is doing fine except my bean and my potato plant.

Lately the cantaloupe/rockmelon plant has been producing plenty of male flowers, but not a single female flower. To my surprise today, I found a female flower!

For your information plants in the melon-family produce each individual male and female reproductive system. A female flower has bump at the back of the flower, while male flower does not have. With the help from pollinators like bees, pollen from the male flower will be transferred to the female flower. If the female flower is pollinated succesfully,it will begin to produce fruit.

Once the female flower blooms, I will have to hand-pollinate the flower by myself as I don't see any pollinators around.


A female flower has a bump the back of the flower which will
swell into fruit if pollination is successfull.

Another Tomato?

I think this time round it's going to be a successful one. I never overwater the plant and when it rains I will move it somewhere. It looks happy with the 7-7-10 organic fertilizer that I've been feeding it with. And another good news is that, the sun is now back in the balcony. The tomato would definately love that! Cheers...

Too much Nitrogen?
