Brave the tomato plants!

I've been closely watching our cherry tomato plant as the little tomatoes slowly change to red, eagerly anticipating plucking them off one by one.  At last the day was here, and Ari picked the first tomatoes of the season! 


Our garden basically looks like a little vegetable jungle. It is apparent that I still have a few things to learn about how far apart to space out the plants, especially the tomatoes.  Nevertheless, there were tomato plants to be slain!


Undaunted, Ari plunged into the viney plant and snatched the first red tomato he saw!  He narrowly escaped the clutches of the artichoke plant to give his prized bounty to the fair maiden anxiously awaiting his return.


She gazed longingly at her cherished treasure, realizing that soon she would sink her teeth into its juicy flesh.


She held her prize in triumph knowing all will eat well this night!

  1. Ahhh, yessss! The red fruits of TLC! Daniel asked me if you added some special fertilizer because ours aren't red at all yet!

  2. No special fertilizer. I think they are early because we had such warm weather in April and May, and so much rain in June. It must be the formula for early tomatoes!
