After growing and watering and talking sweet to the plant for the past few weeks we have our first tomato!
The bottom is a little funky and he needs to be washed. But isn't he cute! It's about 2.5" in diameter. I can't wait to eat him!

We have a tomato!
Shannon and I bought a Topsy Turvy at Walmart a while back and got a tomato plant from Under the Sun. We planted it and asked experts Gary and Linda for some pointers.

I wondered if those topsy turvies worked... its too windy to have one on my balcony though.
Looks like your tomato has blossom end rot. A zillion things could cause it, unfortunately (just a few would be low calcium levels in the soil, drought stress, excessive soil moisture, and/or fluctuations due to rain or overwatering.). But maybe you could mess with some of those ideas and save your upcoming tomatoes from such a horrible end. (haha, sorry, blossom end rot. horrible end. I need to go to sleep.)
Sounds a little weird saying how cute something is then how you cant' wait to eat it.
Amber - We issues with wind every now and then. But we tried to put it in a spot where it wouldn't smack into things... like our house. Also, it's probably water fluctuations that are doing it. We coudl still use some more dirt in there, but is a pretty small environment to keep enough water for a full size tomato plant.
Tuba Queen - We have a second, and he's a cutie that's gonna get eaten too!
Congrats! Tomatoes taste so much better home-grown.
