Day 60: I Ate a Tomato I Grew
60 days ago I planted seeds. Today I ate a cherry tomato I grew from scratch. Here’s the full harvest and what I learned.
The tomato plant has 6 ripe cherry tomatoes. I picked 2.
The Full Harvest
- Radishes: 8 harvested over 3 weeks
- Lettuce: 4 weeks of outer leaf harvest
- Basil: 3 cups of leaves
- Beans: 12 pods
- Zucchini: 2 fruits
- Cherry tomatoes: 6 so far, more coming
What I Learned
- Radishes are the best confidence-builder.
- Thinning really does work.
- Watering is the hardest part.
- I can grow food.
What I’d Do Differently
Started basil earlier. It took longer than I expected. And I’d plant more radishes — they were gone too fast.
What’s Next
The Small Space Kit. I want to try peppers and more tomatoes.
— Day 60 of 60. Not the end.
