signs of summer



Everyone else in the neighborhood is either optimistically putting in peas and lettuce, or more realistically planning to buy baby plants to put in in a month or so. Above, see The Happy Farmer and his crop.
When we brought in the rosemary last fall, somehow a tomato seed was in the pot, and it germinated and grew, and when the tiny yellow flowers appeared, Jerry took a paintbrush and fertilized them.
And this is the result. Except for a show-and-tell, I'm not sure what the deeper meaning is here. Maybe it's that the unexpected happens, too.
