Two sisters, two urban gardens, and a question: How much of our families' food can we produce ourselves? Moving toward sustainability on urban farms

Yeah!!! Looks so good! Go ahead... plop it in your mouth... and enjoy!!! : )
Mmmmm... nothing tastes sweeter than the first ripe tomato of the season ... well... maybe the first ripe strawberry comes close!
Slurp, drool, whimper, sigh. I wish my tomatoes would get ripe.
I am both jealous and impatient. At my house there would be a negotiation over who gets how much of that tiny tomato. I hope you got it all...
I can't believe your plant was able to eck out a piece of ripe fruit with all the cold weather we've had. At least with the current warming trend, my plants will have a chance to fill out--maybe even catch up to yours. Enjoy!
Thanks, everyone! Toni, you bet I did. Well, first I saved it to show to all the adults around, then called Denise, and then, ate it!
kitsapFG, you betcha. Every nice first has its own sweetness, I guess. Berries, fruit, tomatoes.
Granny, you cannot be whining at all. You're in harvesting paradise. I got ONE lousy cherry tomato (and no more ripe behind it).
Wendy~O thanks for visiting. I don't negotiate with non-gardeners, and Caterina doesn't like tomatoes. Of course, I haven't let her taste a just-picked Sungold, either.
Kristin, it's time. Yours will probably do better than mine ni the long run.
Stefaneener, hah! I thought for sure your first impulse would be to share the tomato with Caterina and it appears I was right. I do the same thing and our girl gamely TRIES to like tomatoes each year, but doesn't. (More for me!) I will say though that this year I planted a lot more small ones hoping to convince her. Who knows!
Congrats, though. I am anxiously waiting too; I'm maybe 2 weeks out.
el, I told her I didn't like tomatoes until I was an adult (it was actually a vacation on a Greek island -- perfect tomato-loving setting!).
You beat me! I'm hoping to have a ripe one in the next week or so. Cheers! -Jackie
