serendipitous tomato
In a little weedy corner of our yard, where the water runs off the roof, tomato plants have sprouted. With all sorts of actual red and green tomatoes already growing babysized and aspiring to be bigger. Crazy! I do think we planted some seeds a long long time ago, in our actual backyard but this is a good 20 feet away and none of the watermelons we planted ever did anything. I think we might have chucked a cherry tomato out of the car one day. It sounds like something I would do. These seem bigger than cherries already but who knows? I cut one of the baby red ones open to just see if it was actually a really-real tomato and it smelled and tasted like a tomato. Both me and my cotaster are still alive to say, yes we have tomatoes! If I had a decent camera set up now I'd show you our wild vine getting ready to wrap around our laundry room but until I get one you'll just have to take my word on it.
