tiny green tomato

The day after I wrote the first garden post, I walked downtown and had a drink at Teller's with Sharyn and Rhubarb. As soon as I left, intending to walk home, the sky started throwing down hail like this:



And as I waited it out under an awning downtown, I pictured all my little plants being smashed to tiny green bits. Fortunately, however, this was not the case. I can no longer tell if there are new hail dents in my car, since it has collected so many, but the plants were fine and all was right with the world.
Last night I had a dream that I came out the back door and walked down to the garden, and found the little green bulbs of the first tomatoes growing. So this evening I went out to check, and did indeed find the first teeny tomato (on plant #8). I'm totally impressed with how these plants know exactly what to do, all by themselves.



The End.
