finally, a roma tomato sighting!

A while back, I said that I forgot to label my tomatoes so in my garden I didn't know which is which. I've only ever seen the cherry tomatoes so I'm still to witness roma tomatoes in there.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I grew too many tomatoes from seeds this spring and gave the ones I didn't need to J, my kumpare?

(Kumpare is a Filipino word that refers to the father of your godchild--a generic name used for each other to signify the baptismal ties. Of course, the female counterpart is a kumare, so I'm J's kumare.)

So I don't know if I had romas or not.

Finally, I discovered I had one roma tomato plant in my vegetable garden!

my first roma tomato fruit for this spring's growing season

The discovery was fueled when I was staking in supports for my growing tomatoes.

tomatoes finally staked. i took a long while to get round to
this task so some of the tomatoes were already
bending (see far right, bottom plant)

I hope there's not just the one, otherwise we'll have a glut of cherry tomatoes in our house and J would have a surfeit of roma tomatoes in his, heh.
