Red
This evening I saw red tomatoes! Had I missed them? When I picked them I noticed several were bursting and had holes filled with blackness. The wholes looked like bore holes made by a worm the size of my pinky. Too gross and disappointing to photograph. They went into the compost bin.
So, I picked some still green tomatoes, but ones that seemed, based on all my seasoning, about ready, to ripen inside the house. I left some on the vine too, an experiment. I want a few red, whole tomatoes!
I'm going to celebrate my red tomatoes with a gin and tonic; wonder where the Persian limes really come from?
