First Tomato of 2009 — Pink Thai Egg
First Tomato of 2009 -- Pink Thai Egg
Dot’s Thot: “Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and familiarity breeds contempt. According to this my soul mate should be in Thailand.“ — Jason Zebehazy
Maybe not our soul mate, but for me, I have grown fonder of this variety as the first tomato of 2009 came from a volunteer from a Pink Thai Egg tomato plant which seeded itself from last year’s crop in the pot. I had not bought another one (did not see it) and neglected to pay attention. However, when the volunteer appeared, I did stake up the branches. Here it is — the very first tomato for me for the year. I picked it 3 June 2009. I put a standard mint next to it so you can tell how big it is — sort of like a big grape tomato. If I take better care of this volunteer, the tomatoes will probably grow close to the size of a small egg. Just wanted to share — it is the most modest of harvests, but a harvest, no less. Aloha, Dot
