My first tomato

I am 60 years of age and last year I started to live alone for the first time in my life. A big scary step. This year I decided I'd try some things I had never done before. I don't intend climbing Everest or running a marathon but some things I have never done before.

A friend in the pub was always talking about his tomato plants and when he offered me a couple of young plants I decided to try growing them in a little glass lean to that is at the back of my new flat.

Last week was my first ripe tomato and I am pretty proud to say I ate it :) I am not yet living the Good Life but I am pretty chuffed.
