Mr. Stripey is all abloom this week and covered with crazy amounts of future tomatoes!

Also, that very first Sugar Snack cherry tomato that popped out a few weeks ago is very slowly and almost imperceptibly beginning to change from bright green to subtle orange, which is sure to be followed by bright red and me picking it and eating it. I should probably cut it in half and share it with Lin, being as it is the first tomato that will ripen, but I doubt that will happen.

I will go out that fateful morning to tend to the plants, I will discover its beautiful ripeness, and I will not be able to resist plucking it and popping it into my mouth. To the farmer go the first born veggies, right? Besides, if the current crop of cherry tomatoes hanging around on my still somewhat young plants is any indication, there are going to be more than enough cherry tomatoes for all my friends and family to absolutely glut themselves on the tiny red gems.

I … cannot … wait!

And boy do I love my camera. It lets me get right in there on top of something!
