Year of Pleasures: Unlikely Tomatoes

Green Tomatoes

I have a compost heap off to the side of the house, and since gardening and any kind of yard maitenance has been an absolute zero on my priority list, I never get over there.

So imagine my surprise when I finally found myself in that corner of the yard and found tomatoes growing out of the compost heap. Last years rotten tomatoes must have gone to seed and here in November I’m getting fresh grown tomatoes. It just feels symbolic.

  1. This reminds me of going into our backyard one day while growing up, and seeing a beautiful Roma tomato plant growing…just outside the bathroom…

    Who would have thought we could get healthy, hearty tomatoes from a sewer backup…..
