It’s official! I ate my first tomato yesterday and it was AMAZING! See the pictures below of my second harvest. The tomatoes are well on their way to greatness.
First tomato!
Look at 'em go!
On their way!
As you can see by the amount of fruit on these plants I will need to find some friends to help me eat them. I volunteered to give them to the zoo to be part of the animal diets, but they can’t use them… Apparently they’d need to test the crop for lead and other contaminants before giving them to the animals and that isn’t cost or time effective. We did a diet study of maned wolves and found that they do not enjoy the taste of hot house tomatoes (and won’t eat them) but they love garden-ripened ones. It is very very sad that I can’t contribute to the animals’ happiness.
