My Cherry Tomato Has Been Popped

No longer do I have to feel like the only girl on the block who hasn’t had to spread her branches to get a red tomato.

My cherry Peacevine tomatoes have finally given up playing hard to get and have surrendered to the passion that we call ripe.

The various plum tomatoes are not far behind and I have no doubt they too will be giving up some lusty fruits in just a day or two.

The larger tomatoes are still being a tease and brandishing their big green jagungas at me, but I bet, that with a little time and a bit of ethylene to loosen them up, those babies will be ready to bear everything for me.

From here on out it will be me having tomatoes once a day and twice on Sundays. God, gardening is fun.
