It was to be a glorious event. Something we were looking forward to for some time now. A treat to tantalize the taste buds .... yes, our first red ripe tomato after months of nurturing the seeds and plants.

| The holy grail of gardening |
While working in the garden all day I kept glancing over at the red ripe tomato while it basked in the sun. I figured that it could soak up the sun all day and continue to ripen while I worked. And then just before I get in my truck to go home it will be plucked from the vine and become our first tasty home grown tomato.
But as every gardener knows ... victory can be elusive and deceptive. There are many ways to foil success in a garden, especially in Florida. And in this case I was once again foiled and the trophy quickly taken away after discovering a worm hole on the other side of the tomato.

I guess it's time to mix up another batch of natural organic anti bug spray for the plants. And manually search through the tomato vines for the fat tomato worm that caused this tragedy.
