Holy Tomatoes!

Hizzah! I finally have tomatoes! Out of all my 21 tomato plants, I was beginning to worry that I would not get any fruit from any of them.

When I planted my initial 6 plants, they shot up in size and looked great for about 2 weeks, which inspired me to purchase 15 more plants. Suddenly my leaves on the first set started to look droopy all the time and the bottom leaves of the plants were turning yellow and brown and curling up. For weeks I thought they were on their last legs and they started infecting the newer plants as well. I thought all was lost until last week when I went out to re-tie my grape tomato plant and noticed a bunch of small green balls emerging from the branches!


Just a few days later, I noticed all of my cherry tomato plants had fruits as well. I guess that smaller fruits take less preparation time it needs.

I'm greatly looking forward to harvesting these little lovelies. Tomatoes are my favorite vegetable and I intend to eat my fill.
