It finally happened! Over the weekend my tomato ripened. Technically speaking, a different tomato ripened and then exploded first - but we'll just ignore that and revel in the beauty of my first tomato (that I picked). It's small. Imperfect skin. A little hard. But I love it unconditionally.
I love it so much I was inspired to write a haiku:
You are my first one
Sun and water made you real
Apple of my eye
Okay, that was a bit hokey and dramatic. Here's something a little more lighthearted:
Three months of water
Like watching a pot boiling
Tell your friends, Ripen!

YEAH! What a lovely red.
I loved reading your post and laughed so hard at your haikus. I understand about the tomato situation tho.
