At Long Last

Last night when I was cooking dinner, I asked one of my daughters to run out to the garden to see if I had any yellow squash ready to be picked.  I have been keeping my eye on a couple just waiting until they were big enough.  She returned in a few minutes, with not only two beautiful yellow squash, but this little beauty -- my very first tomato of the season :-) 



Because of our rainy spring this year, I had to plant my garden so late.  I have been watching all of my green tomatoes wondering if there was any chance I would have much of a harvest this year.  This little gem has apparently been hiding from me.  You can imagine the rejoicing in our house over this one special treat.

I know how you feel. I spied a few beauties starting to turn in our garden and couldn't help but do a happy dance over it.

I can sure imagine, as I watch my green tomatoes sit there still green. Congratulations on your first harvest of the tomato. Florence

Congrats! I only picked two so far myself. I think I will have a ton of tomatoes in September, though!

It might only be one tomato, but it's a perfect tomato!

Lovely tomato! We didn't plant any tomatoes this year because we thought we were moving before they got ripe. Oh, well . . .
