First Tomato 2010

This is an unfortunately record, being the latest I have gotten my first ripe tomato.  In case if anyone was wondering, this was on the 1 gallon milk carton upside down garden planter.

    You beat me getting my first tomatoes, so consider yourself lucky. Those do look like some great tomatoes though.

    I must be missing something?? First ripe tomato on 8/20? I started picking in May.

    memmsnyc, thinking of saving the first one to harvest seeds for next year…not sure how many more I will get 🙂

    David S, well I don’t feel so bad then…at least I am not the only one.

    MontyMoose, the not having to remember to water is nice, though picking tomatoes three months ago would be nice

    Red Icculus, the self watering worked good but once the rain stopped I took it off since I had to water everything else, so wasn’t too much effort to water one more. I needed to water every day on hot days (not too many this summer) otherwise every other day.
