Here’s my first tomato of the year. Started indoors the first week of March, then put out on the 20th of April. It was already setting fruit when I put it out, and I made an earlier post on it.
This was grown outdoors, and I didn’t do anything special with it. Ordinary purchased potting soil. I didn’t pinch off any part of the plant or do anything else to help speed maturing of the fruit.
The small tomato you see in the picture, while a little split and catfaced, is otherwise fully ripe and healthy. The others are just a few days from being ripe.
I don’t know anything about this tomato other than what you see here.

I broke down earlier this year and got those informercial tomato planters topsy turvy. lol. They really are great for growing lots of big tomatoes and fast.
Are you adverse to "enhancing" your vegetable gardening for any particular reason ie. even organic fertilizers or do you just like the process of putting the hands in the soil and letting nature take it's course?
Really liked your latest pictures of your geraniums and tulips. Very beautiful.
I too have a small garden in my backyard where i grow some tomatoes, garlic and carrots. But this year there was problem with my tomatoes, they were perished in the bottom part, they looked black. It has never happened before. Do you have any idea why? Could it be because the sunrays didn't reach that part or what?
lovely and fresh vegitable grate think man thanks for shearing your feelings
