A crop in miniature

As I mentioned in my last post, I had quite the mini-crop this year.  As a first time gardener, when I started my seeds indoors I failed to re-pot them as they got bigger.  As a result they ended up root bound (I assume this was the problem).  Interestingly enough, they continued to grow, just on a much smaller scale!  I had fully formed vegetable plants that were in miniature form!  So strange!  They tasted delicious but were bite sized.  Here are some examples:

 Mini cucumbers


Mini string beans

 And my mini cherry tomatoes!

 


 I harvested these guys the other day.  They were delicious but the size of a nickel!


Hopefully next season I'll get this figured out so we have full sized versions of these delicious veggies!
