Harbinger

Harbinger (n): 
anything that foreshadows a future event; omen; sign: Frost is a harbinger of winter.
 
 
This little tomato, which I hold in my somewhat beat up palm, is the first of what I hope is a few hundred pounds of tomatoes, growing out there in the garden.
 
The first.
 
Woo hoo!!
 
The zucchini started a week and a half ago, along with the cucumbers.  This week the beans began.  Now I find a tomato.  Can lots of food be far behind?
 
I guess we'll see!

  2. Hello kindred spirit : ) I had to laugh to myself today when I shoved three cherry tomatoes fresh off the vine and rinsed with the garden hose into my mouth at once - and then I did it again. None of these babies have made it to the house yet. Ahhhhh summertime...

  3. Congratulations, you beat me. I have cukes, zucchini and beans too but no tomatoes (of any size) yet.

  4. Oh, I'm so happy someone is having a successful garden this year. I've had blooms but that's it...I give up.

  5. WOO HOO! Our garden is mostly done and when I find a tomato I pop in straight in my mouth (without the benefit of washing with the garden hose).
