Notes

Golden Nugget Cherry, Sweet Baby Girl Cherry, Black Krim Heirloom, Pineapple Heirloom, Creole Heirloom… all purchased as seedlings online from Garden Harvest Supply (www.gardenharvestsupply.com) and sent through the mail. So far, plants are huge and lush with plenty of flowers and fruit, but only the Baby Girl Cherry has been producing, and very sparsely. Plants are probably overcrowded (there is also basil and peppers planted in the same 4'x4' plot). Wish I'd used tomato cages to get their growth more upward, instead of dense and thick low to the ground like it is now. Live and learn!
