The First Tomato

I never thought we’d get here, but here we are at the night of the first tomato.  I picked this baby yesterday, that nice red jewel in yesterday’s post.  Of course, one cannot say that one grew this tomato entirely herself as it was the size of a marble when we purchased this plant.   This does not deter me from crowing.

It is a Sioux by breed, though I’m not sure that matters at this point, what with the tomatoes growing so closely together.  It was red, warm, hitting its peak, and delicious.  We toasted each other and gulped it down.
