    Three tomatoes. The first was eaten standing in the garden, which is the correct way. The second went to a neighbour, as evidence. The third is still being photographed.

    Language of this post: English

    Twelve seeds, one balcony and a plan that fits on the back of the seed packet. The packet says 'easy to grow'. The packet has never met me.
