Death of a Tomato


I had been so excited about our urban garden and the promise of some home-grown Del Ray Central tomatoes. Yesterday I came home to find our one and only red tomato with a bug crawling all over it. It had split open at the top and looked like a total tomato reject. We have a few more tomatoes that are growing but I am scared that they will share the same fate as this one. So sad! No juicy tomato from the balcony for us.

Kevin had a the idea well pipe-dream really, that we should one day have a vineyard. He even looked into getting some Norton Grapes which are native to Virginia. Not sure if growing a grape vine on our balcony will work but we might just try it. We are determined to grow as much as possible on our 10 or so square feet of outdoor space.
