First Tomato

I started a tiny garden
(from seed packets!)
back in mid March;
planted tiny individual seed-starter pots
placed the trays in the sun of two indoor window boxes
carefully sprinkled drops-of-water-at-a-time
on almost a daily basis,
moved the trays outside in late May,
and nursed the little plants into the ground in June.
Watering once to twice-a-day since then...
And now
first
tomato
on my kitchen windowsill.

Waiting for other tomatoes
and peppers
and two types of lettuce
to join the harvest.

Maybe...
If I bring the plants
back
inside
(because it is getting cool at night)
put the plants in sunny
indoor window boxes...

Maybe...
October;
we will have a harvest.

We slice into the
first
tomato
tomorrow.
