Fruits of Labor

The last week of school before summer vacation Royd brought me a present. He gave me tomato plants. I love fresh tomatoes. There is nothing better than biting into a garden grown tomato. They have a wonderful aroma, and a mouthwatering taste. I don't have a green thumb and I was so busy that week, they all started to die before I planted them. I didn't have a garden spot ready but, they needed to get in the ground and fast. I quickly threw the plants into the ground by the front door. I had very little faith that they would survive. But they did! They are beautiful green, bushy plants. I kept hoping they would produce beautiful tomatoes. Flowers have been blooming all summer. But alas, no tomatoes all summer. Until I spotted some red today. I was so excited what a wonderful after school snack.

Good thing I wasn't too hungry!
