harvest time stars!


What a pleasant sensation when the harvest stars in your own garden ! It happened yesterday when we got our first and delicious tomato, some radish and basil.
There is a story about this tomato. We bought the plant too early (April), and we planted it during the cold weather. At the beginning the tomato plant looked nice with a small fruit, unfortunately this plant got the frost and it was ready to die. We put some crashed egg shells around the plant to feed it with calcium, also we added some compost and we covered with a special black plastic to warm up the soil. We just needed patience and care and here is the result! But it is not a good idea to buy plants with fruits in.

No comento en inglés porque my english is very, very bad. Algún día aprenderé a hablarlo y manejarlo al 100%.
Bien por ti, espero que todo siga yendo ok.
Bye.

Ah, por cierto, ese tomate se ve delicioso y creo que tuviste una buena idea para salvarlo, no sabía lo de alimentar a las plantas con huevo... claro, eso debe ser como un abono.

Un abrazo.
