Tomato Time

Samantha has waited a long two months to be able to harvest her crop of grape tomatoes.  She has watched the plants grow larger with each passing day, and her anticipation grew as she witnessed the green tomatoes slowly turn from orange to red. 

I set her free last week, with a bowl in hand, to choose the most red ones on the plants. 



She did a great job of being selective, and we have managed to gather a handful of them every other day for the last week.  I supsect that we will continue for another week or so (maybe longer).



Of course, Samantha doesn't seem to make it into the house with her complete gathering ... She always manages to sample a few on the back deck!
