Little Tomato

Melissa was passionate about buying a tomato plant from Rona, mid August. It was a little late in the season when we bought it, and the plant was a sorry sight (it reminded me of Charlie Brown's Christmas tree). It had one little tomato on the way, so we took it home and nurtured it. With much encouragement, water & sun, the little tomato grew to be a perfect sized tomato for a little girl :)

This tomato plant is a far cry from the plants we grew back at our previous house, where there was an ideal setting, southern sun against a white stucco wall. The plants couldn't have been happier, as you'll see in this post from the archives.

The tomato is finally ready to be harvested!


Yum, yum... she ate the whole thing in one sitting :)

The plant looked sad but the tomato looked yummy. I guess things have slipped since you moved away from your personal tomato growing coach, aka Casper. ;-)
