BEHOLD! My First Born!!

This week was the most glorious week of my life:  This was the week I saw my very first red tomato.  I've been dying to eat it, but I know I have to share this success with my 2 followers first.  So, here you go:

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.
