tuesday's tomato.......

we decided to try growing our own vegetables & started with tomatoes in a large container.......here is the very first one I picked .......& I decided to present it to you against
California's famous blue sky......

P.S. Early Girl variety....doesn't need staking.....sofar we have about 20 tomatoes on a 12" (30 cm) bush & all we did was water it daily.....

There is nothing better than home grown tomatoes, there is something very rewarding when you pick them and put them on the table. Enjoy them, Horst.
