Isn't he beautiful?! He's actually even more red than this photo suggests.
And now, I will eat him. (I just realized how awful that is after calling this post "my first born". Nonetheless:)
He really was delicious!
Even better, he has two brothers from the same little branch that are about a day away from being as red as he is...was. And 5 little green cousins that are on their way!
In case you're curious, here are some other updates: I've got 2 good-looking full size tomatoes that I'm still waiting to turn red; a pretty blue flower on the asparagus plant; a half-grown bell pepper; and the rest...well...you win some you lose some. All of the cilantro plants have flowered, so no more cilantro; basil looks alright; the lettuce looks shot; and the onions are too crowded and turning brown. I won't include the bad news photos, but here's the up-side of things:
Man, that tomato was yummy. I can't wait to eat the other two tomorrow.
