no tomatoes yet

tomatoes
Today was supposed to be the day. I was trying to get a ripe tomato 2 weeks earlier than last year. I bought bigger plants and planted them in a warmer location than last year. Everything was going well. The plants bloomed very early. But now they are ripening slowly. Lots of green tomatoes today, but no red ones. I'll keep an eye on them. That first tomato is always exciting.

Solanum lycopersicum

I'm still waiting for my first ripe tomato, too.

I am awaiting my first as well...it has turned a nice shade of pink, so it won't be too long. :-)
