This is it. After a couple of months, this is the first tomato we’ve picked from our garden. Sure, we’ve added plants with ready-to-eat fruit on them: cayenne peppers, herbs, even a beautiful lime tree. But this tomato wasn’t there when this plant came into our backyard. And in the space of the last 6 weeks, it has grown. First a powder-green nub at the base of a drying flower. Then a miniature orb, skin stretched tight as it hung from the vine. Finally a ripe, red tomato. Delicious!
