That's right world, I did it! I present to you the first of my Yellow Pear tomatoes. I really never thought this day would come. I would like thank my neighbors for allowing me to keep my pants on the building roof. My family for watering my plants when I was out of town and myself for learning to like tomatoes enough to wants to grow them. So far I have only gotten a few off. The weather has been chilly here in the city and although I am more then ready for Fall, I keep hoping for just a few more days of hot weather for the sake of my tomatoes.
On the downside...Something has put up residence in my tiny garden and is joyfully snacking on my tomatoes. I would come up and be thrilled to find a ripe tomato only to discover a big hole in it. I suspect it's a caterpillar but yesterday someone mentioned having seen a large slug and I found a half eaten tomato still on the vine. I sprayed everything down again and am hoping to have scared it off. Friday I got a lot off all my plants. Two Bell peppers, two smaller hot peppers and a bunch of tomatoes, some from my neighbors plants that they never check on and I water so I don't feel bad helping myself to their tomatoes this time around. I am debating bringing my Tomato plant inside once it gets to cold out to attempt to keeping it alive. We will see, I think I still have a few more weeks to make that decision.
