Around the time of Benjamin's birth, Paw bought Lily a tiny tomato plant.
It was in a tiny container and sat on the table on our deck for weeeeks. It nearly wilted to death many times. Finally, maybe near the end of June, I finally transferred it to this pot, only 1/3 full with soil. Then a few weeks later, I finally managed to buy more soil to fill the container. Then we got serious about watering it.
We've slowly and patiently waited for those tiny green tomatoes to grow and ripen.
Yesterday was the day that Lily finally got pick and eat her tomato.
She has lived up to her name and loves some tomatoes just like her namesake.
She enjoyed every bite possible.
Today she gave the 2nd and 3rd red tomatoes to our neighbor boys.
She's a generous one.
