The Hopeful Gardener Has Tiny Baby Tomatoes!
The title says it all – I have tiny baby tomatoes on my plant! They are green still but what a happy sight in my garden. Earlier in the week I noticed that some of the flowers were dropping off and it didn’t occur to me that this was a good thing in terms of bearing fruit.
The first tomato I've ever grown!
Every day I am amazed at changes in my garden. It never sunk in to me why so many people got great pleasure by tending a garden and now I’m happy to say that I understand. I’m already thinking about what to plant next – maybe get another, smaller container for cilantro and lavender or flowers. (For my friends and family for whom this is a great shock, take nice deep breaths!) If anyone has suggestions for what I can grow in Zone 9b, please let me know.
For now, though, I will enjoy each change and will spend some time with my little garden.

Hey, good for you. We’ve not had to buy a tomato from Publix all year, because of the fruit that our plants have been giving us.
Congratulations! It’s quite exciting, isn’t it?
Thanks! It is very exciting. I need to go get another stake because the plant is so big it toppled the current one yesterday. Thankfully I have a very sturdy yardstick to hold it in place until I get home today.
