The real beginning (2)

William had just turned one and I decided it might be fun for him to watch something grow.  I'm not sure who bought us the yellow pot with smiley tomatoes on it, but I decided to plant the seeds and see what happened.

Bear in mind we lived in a flat with no garden.  And that at the time I didn't know that not all tomatoes grow on small perfectly formed bushes!  These were a cordon variety and quickly took over the window in our lounge.  But William loved watering them, and we did get some fruit off them in the end.

Problem was, I think William thought by this stage that they were a member of the family, and refused to eat them... But I'd certainly got the bug for growing veg!
