My dad came over today to borrow some sanding stuff. I couldn’t resist showing him how large the tomato plants have gotten since he had a small hand raising them while I was away for a month. We ended up picking 2 of the ripest tomatoes and eating them. Yum, so sweet and they weren’t even *fully* ripe yet.

I told him about the Momoko tomatoes I’m going to start next month and he asked for a couple of plants when they’re big enough. My pleasure to do so, of course. Any excuse to grow more plants!

I finally found some pot sealer for the terracotta pots that I should have sealed before putting the tomatoes in them. Once this crop is finished, I’m going to throw out the existing tomato plants, clean the pots and seal them. I might even paint them so I have all matching black pots on the balcony.

It looks like the sunny weather is coming to an end soon, Thursday look to be the start of rain again. Saturday’s going to be windy, I hope the tomatoes will survive!
