first tomato in Northern California!

I ate my first two tomatoes today! And they tasted great!

Well, cherry tomatoes. Sun Sugar F1. But tomatoes nevertheless. The seedling went in the ground in early March, but still, this is by far the earliest I've eaten a homegrown tomato in the five or so years I've been keeping records.

The other early plant, Caspian Pink, which went in the ground around the ides of March, has one big green tomato that's not coloring up yet.

Raspberries are also early, and exceptionally dense and leafy, this year.
