Sid's Succulent Baby

Sid has produced his first tomato. Baby Sid—vine-ripened—was picked yesterday, August 22nd.

Just got home from running all of my errands. Baby Sid looks delicious sitting on the counter:

I think I will slice him in half:

Now slice him into wedges and sprinkle him with a little sea salt:

Now, for the taste. Holy mother Rhea of Zeus, he is the most flavorful and juicy tomato I have ever tasted. I am not kidding. No exaggeration here. If you can, I highly recommend growing your own tomatoes.

Sid minus his Baby. He is not sad:

He is finally staring to grow. He has two more tomatoes that are coming along nicely.


Update 9/1: Sid now has fifteen tomatoes. Here is his largest cluster:
