This morning I airlifted the hose to the third floor (read: fun with a long string). No one had started wilting, but they were right on the edge, so it was good timing; yesterday got really hot.
This goronong has been kind of questionable -- there's probably 8" of stem down there with nothing growing on it -- but it's looking pretty good now and I think there's at least one set pod in there.
My fish pepper is also setting pods! I counted two, but it's kind of wedged in the back, so it's likely there are more.
My Japanese bells are, predictably, going wild. This one has two fairly large pods and a whole lot of smaller ones; you can see one in the middle left. There's another in the center back, but it didn't come through as well as I thought it would when I took the picture.
The hawk's claws are looking good, too. Although I'm hoping those droopers look up as they set, otherwise these... probably aren't actually hawk's claws. Eh.
The lemon drops continue to do their viney thing and ripen like gangbusters. At this rate I might get a harvest large enough to start a tiny jar of mash way sooner than I thought.
Today is my parents' last day in Tokyo, and they're already planning stuff for their next trip. Last night we hit Odaiba, a shopping area built on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. They have a mini Statue of Liberty there, so I'll end this update on a random note, too.
