No Wonder My Tomatoes Were Crap


Yes, that is a tomato worm.  And, yes, it's as big as my freaking femur!  Nobody tells you they blend so well.  I found three of these when we ripped the tomatoes out a while back.  I'm sure there were 276 I didn't find.  Bastards.

Our First Crop!!!!!

It consists of two tomatoes!!!  I'm so excited I could pee!!!  Ok, maybe not that excited.


Yes, they're small.  Yes, there are only two.  But, I couldn't care less.  Roma tomatoes.  We cut them up and put them on some chicken taco's tonight.  And, they tasted like the most tomatoey tomatoes I've ever had.

Now, the plant itself on the other hand...


I expected it to be, well, bigger.  It has about a dozen tomatoes on it, but the cage is so damn big, I thought this thing would be a monster.  Maybe it's still early in the season.  I give it fish emulsion every two weeks.  That's all it gets, so I don't know if I should be giving it more.  I'll stick with that schedule over the summer and see what happens.
