I grew today's lunch.

Last year Woolies were giving away seeds and seed raising kits. We got a couple and I decided to see if they would grow. Max and I carefully put them in the seed raising mix and watered them when it got dry. Soon they had grown so much we needed to put them into bigger pots and give them lots of water and fertiliser. It was exciting to watch them get bigger and see the first tomato flowers bloom. It wasn't long before we had little green globes all over the tomato bush.

One day about 10 days ago of the green ones fell off, so Suzy brought it inside and sat it by the window near the sink. We've been watching it get redder and redder and today it was ready to eat, so I thought I would have it for lunch.

I could have had ham and tomato sandwiches, or cheese and tomato toasties but I wanted to keep it simple so I put the sliced tomato on buttered Saos with a little bit of salt and pepper.
You know what.... that tomato was delicious! I can't wait for the rest to ripen. It was a very good lunch.

Thank you for the locationless - the coordinates are for my local Woolies where we got the seeds.
