I planted this cherry from seeds when I returned to South of France 2 years ago. It has been producing tomatoes since then and now it has massive bunches of flowers growing on it.

Have never seen anything like this before. It's like 15-20 flowers and tomatoes on one single branch and have about 10 of them on each plant (3 total). these are the ones I planted directly in the 50L soil bags I bought from the store.

The hydroponics continue!

Photo 1: Some lettuce for snacking and two more tomato attempts.

Photo 2: A mixture of flowering plants and a mini tomato.

The same slow-growing lisianthus as always, new chive sprouts, asarina seeds, yellow mini tomato (been going a while), Chilean glory vine seeds, mixed seeds (sunflower and ageratum), mixed seeds (saponaria and sunflower), peony poppy, gazania. All in a nine-place Click & Grow hydroponic unit. There is an orchid plant in front of the unit and a drosera plant (sundew) behind.

The little set-up of IKEA Växer Hydroponic by the balcony door is giving me new produce almost daily.

Have cut back about half of the plants due to aphids attack and soil gnats like bugs growing in the substrate of the mesh cups.

But the 2 plants on the top unit are not only keep growing, but they are giving me tiny juicy cherry tomatoes all the time.

Decided to add some threads to help them stand up so they get more lights and make it more visible.

Already moved one out to a 20L on the balcony, I may move one of these out as they are getting too big for indoor.

put a thread on the door to lift up the plant, now I see all the tiny tomatoes growing.

Using old fashioned way of saving tomato seeds.

Letting them ferment for a couple of days and then dry them up for future use.

I usually save them on paper towels, but it takes too much. I don't think I will ever use all of them, but my addiction to save seeds can't be stopped.

@faab64 I don't make so much huddle. I simply smear the goo from a tomato on a sheet of kitchen paper, let it dry well, label it and fold it up. When sowing, I remove the seeds with a toothpick. If someone wants something, they get a piece cut out. I've been doing this successfully since 2001.

Horizontal rectangle in soft yellow with faint mid-size checkerboard marks. A 1950s woman in bright pink is at right foreground, cropped to be seen from her chin to her lower abdomen. She faces left and holds out a large square translucent clock with 1960s curvy red numbers and matching hands. It shows a time of 8:30. It rests at a slight angle on a pointy-based, round-topped platform over a large gold eyelet embedded in an angled block of 1950s cream-colored flooring with flecks of pink, green, beige, and brown. The woman holds a small white iris in her left hand. There’s a faded, blurred strip of white rail fence and a garden with white flowers in the background. Trim: six tiny green jewel-like glass circles atop the clock and as buttons on the woman’s belted dress.

    Horizontal rectangular still life bordered with a thin, raised rim of orange and pink, against a frame that’s cut at an angle to be roughly half weathered wood and half velvety forest green. The green side has a little faint and blurred ad text. The illustration at center is a coarsely “painted” group with an eggplant, a head of green cabbage, half a watermelon, an acorn squash, a cooked turkey and ham, and three ripe tomatoes. Portions of the still life are “peeled back” using erasers in various brush settings so that an under-layer of torn ad text in different sizes and fonts shows through. (About a dozen.) A few bits of stamped texture and some smaller, black and white snippets of the still life also show through.
