Update to Garden in H-Town

IMPORTANT UPDATE on previous UPDATE

The company left early and we almost HAD to go to the nursery... but we were ultimately saved by the evening news just coming on, and we all decided to wait for a more propitious time!

End of Update

It's harvest time: 2 strawberries and 1 tomato. Allen and I are so excited we are actually starting to get some production from our potted veggies.

We collected another 2 strawberries and we did a coin toss to see who got which one: Allen got first choice and his was "tart", I got the other one and it was "sweet as sugar". There are lots more on the plants so I think we will be having enough for cereal or ice cream topping soon.

Our first tomato

We also got our first tomato and it was DELISH! We have a lot more but on one of the plants some have "blossom rot", which can be caused by inconsistent watering. I wasn't really paying attention and that plant got less water than the other because the drip line had a clog in it. It's now been cleared and I hope the rest of the fruit will be fine.
