What can say?It's my first year trying to grow a vegetable.....a tomato plant.
Since I have lots of shade around my house....I bought a large clay pot and planted a store bought tomato plant in it (8.99 for a foot high starter) and nestled the pot close to my driveway where sunshine is consistent in the afternoon.
The plant had a promising amount of green tomatoes till the bad weather and hail storm....which made big holes in fruits and tore several leaves off.
Today....I plucked off one of the lower tomatoes....which had turned red and only had a few scars.
As you can see.....I better not count on this plant to provide for our salads this summer. I would estimate, when cut in half, perhaps two bites worth of food.
Still it is my first tomato.....
although I think I'll be visiting the Farmer's Market next week.
