These past two months I have been suffering from intense jealousy. It has nothing to do with a PIT and the attention she gets.
Instead it is directed towards another plant that Ma has been living on since it was a pip.
It’s that wretched tomato she planted in May.
She talks to it more than me and feeds it all sorts of weird things like coffee grounds and crushed egg shells.
It is watered morning and night and little leaves are plucked from it regularly.
Well yesterday the green monster yielded its first fruits. A decent bunch of four for a Caprese plate for each human.
Everyone had to pretend they were the sweetest most delicious tomatoes ever grown especially when combined with Ma’s basil. Give me strength!!!!!
You should have seen the pride on Ma’s face. That I’m so modest but perfect smile!
Made me think though that maybe I’m lucky she doesn’t love me that much as she’s never once tried to eat me.
