For the past month or so (ever since the summer sun started really shining), the plants have had noticeable daily growth; the green kind at least, taller tomato plants and larger squash leaves. But a couple of weeks ago, the first sign of produce appeared in the form of a small, very green tomato. Slowly growing larger, it finally began to turn red this week. And this morning, it was deemed ready to be picked: the first fruit of summer!
I figured I better document the occasion with some pictures, because the real thing isn't likely to last long. Tomorrow's breakfast: the Toole family favorite of tomatoes and toast!
