Small but perfectly formed :)

LOL!!!!

Haha, CONGRATULATIONS!

...that's how my harvests always work. One year, I got one perfect little grape tomato. I was very excited (ha) to eat it. Then I took a bite and the skin was really fleshy and thick and the tomato had no taste at all.

For the past six years I have tried tomatoes. For the past five years, I have said I will not try tomatoes again. Last year I held off until late summer, and then decided I'd try for a fall crop. No success.

This year I did not buy a single tomato plant. I was NOT going to try them again - spring or fall. Then someone gave my husband three good size plants to give to me. So far, so good - and one looks like it might actually give me five or six. They're large and so far undamaged. This means I will probably try tomatoes again next year.... lol.

....Actually, when these plants finish, I plan on cutting them back hard, repotting (or potting up), and trying to save them for a fall crop... who knows what will happen? I like to experiment.

Also, after reading more and more, I think that I'm using pots that are much too small. Each year I have improved my tomato skills - from an in-ground partial sun location -- in-ground afternoon sun -- in pots in afternoon sun -- to pots with 5-1-1 in afternoon sun -- to all day sun in pots with 5-1-1.

Now I think I just need bigger pots.

M, do you remember that song? Don't worry, be happy! :)

I love it your harvest :) The little thing must feel very special. Hopefully he will have more brothers and sisters soon.

I dug out some of my potatoes the other day and I found one the size of a marble. Eventually I did find some good potatoes at the bottom, but the 15 seconds that I thought that was my only harvest were very bitter.

I'm also waiting on my single peach that the squirrels didn't get. I think that they are waiting for it to get ripe too.

What variety is that, wallisadi? Red Rubber Ball? ; )

Mark - That'll go nice with the eggplant that you harvested recently! Good for you...keep it up.

And you've already ruined that one little tomato by putting it in the fridge.

Where on earth did you find the seeds for growing a billiard ball??

MOO

I can relate, I ran into the house with my harvest of three strawberries, the size of grapes, and my family let me know I could get strawberries at Publix.
