{my first tomato ever!}

terrancethetomato-1

this is terrance, my tomato plant.

i haven’t written about him much because i actually thought maybe he was dying… i only got this ONE tomato from the plant and i believe critters got to the rest of the fruit before i could…  i hadn’t seen any new life in almost 2 weeks so i was concerned… but then recently, i started seeing new growth!  i have 10 little tomatoes growing at the moment, woohoo!!

i’m not sure why it seems my terrance is a late-bloomer… most of my friends that have plants are harvesting TONS of fruit right now.  it’s just funny, it seems like everything i own takes on my energy… i’ve always said i’m a late-bloomer… 😉

    Haha. I’m barely beating you, with a whopping 5 tomatoes this year. My problem was deer, though.

        I actually live in the Santa Cruz mountains. In addition to keeping the deer away, I’m also battling the redwoods for light…Good luck next year!
