the tomatoes like the library

So, those tomato cuttings from October? They're still doing well -- so much that I spent part of my Saturday sanitizing stakes to bring inside, as the vines had become too long and heavy to creep up the wall without help:



There are also two generations of Christmas pepper plants in that corner (transplanting the trio of seedlings I hadn't placed among friends was another finally-got-to item on the list). I gave up on the pot of thyme.
I chucked a couple of bulbs into the compost pail and sliced open a third.

The scent of the tomato plants intensifies as they are handled. It was strong enough to disturb the BYM, on the other side of the wall.
