I was out watering after work the other day and discovered my first tomato ever (!) growing on my cherry tomato plant. I have a tomato! I'm so excited. And yesterday I discovered the beginning of a second tomato, but I haven't uploaded a picture of it yet.

Isn't it fantastic when we see those very first fruits?  I'll bet those tomatoes will taste better than any shop bought ones when they ripen. Do remember to feed the plants now that they have started to produce as they need extra help to form more fruits that will mature. Tomorite is a good tomato feed.

"Fruits of your labour" takes on a literal meaning, what a pleasant sight Monica. Well done and may there be many, many more tomatoes on the way!

Eileen, thanks for the feed suggestion. I'll look for it in stores!
GardenStew, I'm hoping for many, many more tomatoes as well!

Oh, good job. Now you will be going out to count the tomato population everyday. When they start ripening good luck refraining from eating them as you pick them, save some for the rest of the family.

Oh monmon, you are so lucky! I can't wait to have my first tomato from the garden! There is no comparing a home grown tomato to the ones you get in the store!

My dad and stepmother used to have a Scottie named Obsidian. Every year when the tomatoes stated growing, the dog would walk along and eat the tomatoes before they could ripen! *lmbo*
Sadly, she had to be put to sleep this year and dad said that they arent going to plant tomatoes because the memories woudl be too sad.
