Day 37 - A New Tomato

Well, another tomato plant has officially started producing fruit.  The picture above is of my Carbon plant and it's the first sign of fruit that I've been able to see.  It will eventually turn a deep purple when ripe.  All the plants seem to be producing right on schedule, it's just tough to be patient through this growing season.  I just want to eat them now!!  Also, Lime Green Salad has about 8 - 12 new tomatoes on it that I didn't even see until this morning.  It just kind of sprang up overnight, it seemed like. 

We made our morning trip out to the St. Fairsted Farms farmstand, only to find out that the opening has been delayed a week and was still closed.  Charlie had a good idea that we should find the keys so we could open it, but we never we able to find them :)

I guess we'll have to wait another week.
