I think this is the start of the very first tomato and I’m so unreasonably excited I managed to get from seeds to a tomato growing oh my god! It’s so tiny still! But it’s there!

    Haha I am doing the same thing! First garden, I have tomatoes, zuchini, and beans and every morning I am running outside like it is Christmas. There are like 100 flowers on the zuch but so far nothing and I am like “C’MON!”

    Looks like you got one tho!

      I was so excited when I started seeing the flowers! Then one fell off and I was like !!! cause that means the tomato should grow, and it has and it’s delightful! I hope you get a billion zucchini! I know we did growing up…so many we just left them on neighbors doorsteps. XD

        Meanwhile some family has lore about Zuchinni trolls who drop off zuchinni for bad little girls and boys and that’s all they get to eat that day, or something awful

      The first year I planted watermelon I got a vine like 25 feet long and 4 melons that averaged 20 pounds. The next year I didn’t do anything new, got a vine over 30 feet, 1 melon that rotted on the vine.

      Really opens the eyes on pollinators. At least with pumpkins if I get up early enough I can manually pollinate.
