Decompression and First Tomato!

Finally got my Burn on this past weekend at Rec Plant after having missed Flipside this year. It was great to re-connect with the land and the community, and the weather was mostly-perfect after some initial Friday-night rain. I took some pictures, but haven't downloaded them yet.

After contributing a part to the Bug and Dog Thievery Funds, I finally got to eat my very first-even home-garden tomato! It was juicy and delicious, and should be followed by at least another 15 or so ripening on the vine.

*slurp*

Ooo, I have tomato envy -- mine are tiny and green, still!

There is something particularly amazing about eating food you planted. :)

Yes, indeed!

I'm only beginning to discover this.

Time to tear down the shed to make way for a bigger garden!

Congrats on the tomato! I hope to eventually grow food myself as well. I'm going to see if I can rent a plot in the community gardens next year.
