In my plant log, I note that Aug. 5 was the first time I noticed this baby tomato pop up, and this is the first picture of it from that day. It might have gone unnoticed for a day or so, though. I waited several weeks before I noticed any change in color, but then it start turning a different shade of green, then yellow, then orange, and finally red! It turned a different color each day. Here are the countdown photos:
Aug. 3 - starting to change color
Aug. 4 - turning yellow
Aug. 5 - turning orange (exactly a month after the original picture)
Aug. 6 - almost completely red!
Aug. 7 - right before I picked my beautiful Roma off the plant.
And you can see how many more I have that should start changing colors in the next couple weeks!
I picked this Roma tomato on Aug. 7, about 33 days after the baby fruit was originally spotted on the plant. It is about 2 1/2 inches long. I haven't tasted it yet, but it looks delicious! My green bell peppers are also 2 1/2 inches long right now, but I'm hoping those will keep growing. Here's my most recent picture of the bell peppers:
Those tomatoes are starting to look so delicious! You are a great gardener, I can't wait to feast the on some home made pizza with you!
