so i was out in my garden today, as usual, and i thought how fun it was to have my cherry tomato plant in all stages and right before my eyes. to be witness to nature.

Cracking photos - right up my street as I love to take loads and loads of before-during-after shots. I also love the way that a tomato grows from a swelling in a flower - it's beautiful to see.
You'll know when to pick them! They'll be a nice red/orange color (depending on the plant, some might be more orange/yellow), and they'll smell wonderful (like candy)! Cherry tomatoes are so much fun... once the plant is really jamming, you can pick a fresh handful of ripe tomatoes every day (sometimes more!)
since my first tomato sighting, i have since seen a branch of about 6 tomatoes in about 20 differnt places. i'm too excited.
