Tomato plants produce yellow flowers that must get fertilized before they become fruits. The tomato plant bears both the male and female reproductive parts. The pollens must reach the female pistil for the fertilization to happen. Insects play a major part in the pollination process. The fertilized fruits initially appear as small green globes at the base of the blossoms. I could get a picture of this green globe when we had tomato plants in our garden.
These green globes grow to become ripe tomatoes. We did not have a bounty as we had only a few plants. We used to get 2 or 3 small fruits every week during the last summer. It is not enough for cooking. So we would eat the tomato fruits raw. It was a good addition to our garden though the yield was modest. We would try tomato plants again during next summer.

my father loves to plant tomatoes
I just finished harvesting. They were medium sized tomatoes.
That is great considering it is off season.
I always love to see them turning red from green
Yes. It is wonderful to see the beauty of nature and the way it develops.
Gardening and producing fruit from the plants we care for are often more fun than eating the fruit.
True. It is great to see something of value growing from Mother Earth.
I grow tomatoes in my garden. I love it in salad.
Yup. Tomatoes make the salad delicious.
Tomato plants grow like weeds in my garden. I just submitted a post about my tomato plant.
Great to hear that Dawn. I just checked your post and the tomato plant looks healthier in your garden.
I love tomatoes. Your plant looks very healthy!
Thanks DocAndersen. But the fruits were small only.
cherry tomatoes are very good (the small ones)
Love fresh tomatoes.
I too love eating fresh tomatoes.
