Amaryllis again, monster plants & potting up

Back in February I posted about planting this Amaryllis. When I planted the bulb it had no roots and two flower stems coming out of the bulb. After the first flower stem bloomed the bulb went wrinkly and the other flower stem would not grow. I then dig up the bulb and saw that no roots were growing. So I put it back in its pot and placed it in a southern window. I then barely watered it for 2 months and a few weeks ago the dormant flower stem started to grow. I am glade it lived and it is a nice spring addition to the living room.

Now for the veggies. After potting up all the tomatoes they have turned into monsters. They are getting way to big and need more space again.

So I took them down, lowered the shelf and gave them all more room. The poly tunnel will be done any day now and these space hogs will start going outside under the tunnels protection during warm days. Can't be soon enough. Next year I am going to wait until the second week of April to start the tomatoes.

Here we have my three well behaved tomatoes. From left to right is Purple Calabash (from Skippy's Vegetable Garden), Chocolate Stripes & Black Zebria (seed saved from the grocery store).

Here is the new addition to the Tomato lineup. It is a Red Velvet Cherry Tomato from a swap with The Conservative Gardener. It grows into a plant with velvety white leaves, sounds pretty interesting.

I then potted up the two peppers above because they are getting monstrous as well and are drying out to fast. They went into 3" square pots and were placed beside the monster tomatoes.

I also planted the Basil, Minette from its community pot into a cell pack.

Lastly here is Mister Early Tomato. He has been in and out a lot and as you can see from the lower photo he is sporting a sun tan. He will be fine though, just needs to toughen up a bit. If you look closely you may also notice that he has one flower bloom out and is loaded with tiny buds.
