Here’s my first tomato of the year. Started indoors the first week of March, then put out on the 20th of April. It was already setting fruit when I put it out, and I made an earlier post on it.
This was grown outdoors, and I didn’t do anything special with it. Ordinary purchased potting soil. I didn’t pinch off any part of the plant or do anything else to help speed maturing of the fruit.
The small tomato you see in the picture, while a little split and catfaced, is otherwise fully ripe and healthy. The others are just a few days from being ripe.
I don’t know anything about this tomato other than what you see here.
Yay, congrats! I can’t wait until we get our first tomatoes this year, but I think we’ve got a ways to go…
Oooh, congratulations! The first tomato is always exciting. I might get a few cherry tomatoes here soon, but the big ones won’t be around for a while.
Holy COW! I don’t have a ripe tomato yet and here you are in the Netherlands, flaunting tomato-ripeness! Well done, Patrick!
Amazing! You are certainly flaunting!
I sowed my seed on Feb 21, faithfully tended, and finally some tiny green tomatoes now. Nice to see a yummy sign of hope.
