You're in Canada and you've got a tiny tomato already? That's wonderful.
It's finally turned hot here after weeks of 50 degrees and my tomatoes have flowers! The only other things I have are parsley, which is doing better now that it's outside, and beets, that are small but coming along nicely.
Yes a little tiny green tomato ...actually I JUST counted 3 tiny green ones
We planted for the first time peas as a trial..no luck the plant dried out due to our extreme heatwave twice.I sort of knew it would not do well.

Reason: counted wrong
Oh, yeah. I have one drawer full of rarely worn undergarments like the strapless bra and the full length slip. I also have a pair of long black gloves... the ones that go over the elbow. They were my moms.
I am so excited: daughter has counted over 100 tomatoes, her first year to garden, granddaughter has about 30: her first year as well. They depended on me for help and guess what? I had none: then yesterday went out of water and there they were: all 4 of them. OK, so they are the size of my baby finger nail, at least they are tomatoes. I am telling myself they are just late bloomers and I will have lots in the fall.
First year! That's great. I'm sure she'll be planting next year.
sounds like you had a visit from the dreaded cut worm they will slice a tomatoe plant in half in a matter of minutes . Just tie it up to a bamboo pole (you can get them at home depot or lowes ) with a piece of panty hose and you will just fine good luck to you and the lil plant
I hadn't considered that because the break was at least 6" above soil level. After doing some reading, I realized that is possible because some of them are climbers.
I realize that I didn't post photos, but I still think it was probably an animal. The break wasn't clean, horizontal, and a couple of branches were bent at the stem.
I had a little "Egyptian Spinach" that I threw in my pea soup lol very good. I had to cut the spinach plants so it would bush out so I didnt have very much.
I have seen crows go down a row of corn that has just started to germinate to eat the swollen seed kernal.....I dont know if they leave the seedling or not. I wonder if some bird liked the sprouted zucchini seeds, but not the plant itself. ??????
That would just about kill me to have some animal EAT my vegetables! grrrrr.
I live by a beach (horrible in winter so don't get jealous, lol) so there are no trees and few animals to get into the tiny garden I have. Of course there could always be insects. Fingers crossed.
I'm pleased to report that the Charlie Brown tomato plant is doing well and looking pretty perky. The stem and 2 1/2 branches are firm. The leaves look good. It looks better than the mother plant! I'm really happy about this.
