first fruits

i know i mentioned the tomatoes.

i love fresh tomatoes and i have never grown any of my own, because most years i just can't be relied on to stay home and tend a garden.

but i'm not camping these days, because camping exposes me to more risk.

and did i mention that i love fresh tomatoes?

anyway, back when we were just starting to reopen the first tentative businesses after the first shutdown, i thought now would be a good time to raise some food. i'm under no illusion of raising a lot of it, but it felt like a good thing to do.

so i bought two tomato plants.

this lovely did not even make it as far as a plate. i meant to serve it all fancy with my dinner, but it got eaten before that happened.
