Alicante



The first and, for a long time, only two tomatoes. I was afraid this was all I was going to get.


A year later, hidden in the usual green curtain that hugs the window: red specks, that turn out to be tiny undernourished tomatoes, and more red specks in the making.


Next to the red specks, an almost-normal, plum-sized green fruit. More green fruits elsewhere, showing starting blossom end rot (it was midsummer and the plants were sporadically watered).


The first harvest, some of the mini-tomatoes shrivelled with age.


The signs of a second harvest to come.


My patience is rewarded.
