| A miracle
Yeah, I don't know what else to call it. My tomato plant. There's tomatoes on it! Frikkin' tomatoes! *dances with joy*

Last year I took some seeds from a tomato and planted them, just for fun. I didn't even expect that to work, but after a few weeks some green started to pop up. After that, I've kept this one on my window. Horribly mistreated, it shouldn't even be alive right now. At the start of this summer, I was about to throw it away because it was so tiny and colorless. But this last month it just exploded, and grew to this size. And to my big surprise there's flowers on it, which means, tomatoes! I've always read that you can't get any flowers on plants from seeds that you've taken from fruit/vegetables. Haha!
I'm a real garden noob, so this is a pro achivement for me ^^ Still it's hard to just get by. It seems so meaningless to try When all I want to do is cry. Who would ever know I felt so sad?
Even though I get so high, I know that I will never fly And when I fall out of the sky, who'll be standing by? |

If I give you my address you wouldn't like to come and work your magic on my back garden would you lol?? Sometimes I wonder about my life.
I lead a small life, well valuable but small. And sometimes I wonder. Do I do it because I like it or because I haven't been brave?
So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book when shouldn't it be the other way around?
I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void.
So, goodnight dear void. |

Whooo, amazing.... Me and my sis when we was about 5 years old planted a seed from an apple on our neighbors garden and years later there was a tree there :O That amazing considering the whether we have over here. That guy who lived there was old and eventually passed away and the new ppl chopped the tree down Absolutely no consideration for me and my sisters childhood memoirs lol Honestly some ppl haha Well they would not have known how the tree become to be there. And even if they did I cert imagine it making much difference to there decision.

Nice lookin' plant. It's fun to watch things grow but even more fun when it's something you can eat.
Sometimes I grow pepper plants. I've had serranos, jalapenos and habaneros...and as a result, I have no taste buds left.  |

Pepper Plants sounds cool. I planted some Paprika seeds last year, but they never grew. Got two Avocado plants, they look pretty cool, though they're not doing to well at the moment ^^ |
