I spied our first ripe cherry tomato this morning. I offered it to Little Turtle and she came out and said, "Aw, it's tiny!" She was expecting one of the big tomatoes to be ripe, but they're still in the green and growing phase. I left the cherry tomato there, as it looks like it could get just a bit riper. I hope some fiendish squirrel doesn't get it before I get to pick & eat it. That would make me very, very angry. I would have to take up my squirrel water torture again. Now that the moss is firmly established, they have done a lot less digging in it, so I have been lenient with them for the most part. But I am still watching, you little buggers.
We also have some sunflowers just starting to bloom, see? Luckily, these are turning out to be sunflowers of the petite variety, unlike the monster 12 foot tall ones I grew in a house with a big backyard many moons ago. I don't think giant sunflowers would fit on our little back deck. So, I suppose I chose these seeds wisely.
