You say tomato..

August 2, 2009

This spring we decided to grow tomatoes in a container. Six plants were bought and planted. We nursed those little plants through the cool spring. We lugged them inside several times to protect them from the elements. The plants continued to thrive and flourish. We watched the blossoms unfold to reveal tiny little tomatoes. These past two weeks have shown us that our hard work paid off. The tomatoes are starting to turn red and each day reveals a new one that is ripe and ready to pick. I also planted basil in hopes that I would be making Caprese Salad when August rolled around. The basil is ready and fresh mozzarella has been bought. Feast your eyes one of our first tomatoes! What are you growing in your garden this summer? Did you try something new?
