Maybe this one will actually produce fruit because when I bought it at the garden shop, it said "container tomato plant" on it. And since, well, I was actually planting it in a container, I went for it! Maybe this year will be the year! Now it has little yellow flowers just waiting to become what I'm sure will be a boundless cornucopia of summer tomatoes...or squirrel food, either one. Anyway, as I was watering my soon-to-be bountiful tomato plant, all one and a half feet of it, there is always a distinct, for lack of a better description, tomato plant smell. And with a single scent, my mind goes back to standing alone in my grandmother's vegetable garden during summer break when I was not quite old enough to be the latch key child that I was to become probably the summer after. I remember the air being still and hot, and the only sounds really I could hear were the cacophony of distant cars and day bugs. And the only thing I could really smell was the tomato plants, full of tomatoes. which is what I'm hoping my lone little plant on the balcony will produce this summer!
