First Tomato
I had my doubts as to whether my cherry tomato plant in a pot, sitting on my mostly shaded front porch would produce anything at all. As of this morning, the first of its tomatoes is turning red. There are another 12-15 green ones still in the process of growing but I now have hope for them to turn into something edible.
I also have two basil plants in pots on the shaded porch and they are doing alright. After killing 3 other basil plants, right now I'm just happy they are alive. Earlier this week I did my first harvest of leaves and true to form the plant is fighting back by growing more. In a day or two I'll harvest more leaves and freeze them so I'll eventually have enough to make pesto.
