First Tomato 2009!
June 11, 2009 · Filed Under Featured Plant
Here’s my first tomato of the year. Started indoors the first week of March, then put out on the 20th of April. It was already setting fruit when I put it out, and I made an earlier post on it.
This was grown outdoors, and I didn’t do anything special with it. Ordinary purchased potting soil. I didn’t pinch off any part of the plant or do anything else to help speed maturing of the fruit.
The small tomato you see in the picture, while a little split and catfaced, is otherwise fully ripe and healthy. The others are just a few days from being ripe.
I don’t know anything about this tomato other than what you see here.

Yay, congrats! I can’t wait until we get our first tomatoes this year, but I think we’ve got a ways to go…
Oooh, congratulations! The first tomato is always exciting. I might get a few cherry tomatoes here soon, but the big ones won’t be around for a while.
Holy COW! I don’t have a ripe tomato yet and here you are in the Netherlands, flaunting tomato-ripeness! Well done, Patrick!
Amazing! You are certainly flaunting!
I sowed my seed on Feb 21, faithfully tended, and finally some tiny green tomatoes now. Nice to see a yummy sign of hope.
