tomatoes

After last year’s success in growing basils, chives, cilantro, peppers, and several potted herbs, this year I wanted to try something different and a bit more challenging, like tomatoes. My green thumb friend Tab gave me three varieties of tomato plants to play around.

The pots I planted the plants were kind of small, I was concerned they might not provide enough nutrition for the plants to produce fruits. Also during springtime, the plants were nearly drowned by the heavy rain due to my ignorance to the plants’ water takes. All and all, I didn’t expect to get any tomato.

That’s why when I first discovered tiny green lumps hidden behind leaves, I didn’t immediately associate those were baby tomatoes. But look at them grow! This one is as big as the tomatoes they sell in the grocery store.

I wonder when it’s going to turn red. I can’t wait to eat my home grown tomatoes.
