Getting down with my tomatoes.

Oh my god, I had my first fresh tomatoes today, and they were *divine*. Nothing at all like store-bought. This will be a wonderful summer.

 

So, I re-potted the experimental tomato (I felt so bad for it). The pot is actually plastic, and is nice and light. Oddly enough, the little tomato started ripening right after I re-potted the plant. This little tomato was about 2/3 of an inch across:

Here's the plant in it's little pot:

The big tomato also had a tomato ripen. (I was out of town all weekend, and ofcourse they started ripening as soon as I wasn't there to see it) Here's the tomato on the plant:

Here it is on a little saucer: It's just over an inch across.

Here's the whole brutish plant. The roses need to be deadheaded. Also, check out the dragon guarding my little garden (I got him on clearance at Target today)

My pepper plant is still very bushy, and *dripping* in peppers:

I'm thinking or naming my strawberry plants, "The Rapunzels":

Finally, I think I have my very first morning glory/moonflower bud! I don't actually know which.

'Maters! Our own plants are festooned with little yellow flowers, but so far there are only a couple 'mater nubbins just starting to peek out. It's all so very exciting!

 

Oh and I'm totally going to scour our local Tarjay for a small dragon of our own now. My dream yard art is a two foot tall concrete buddha with arms raised. A coastal kitschy yard place we visited a few weeks ago had them listed as "touchdown buddhas". :P

Everything looks great! I'm especially enamored with the pepper plant, it looks like it's really doing well and enjoying itself :P
