"Four of the tomatoes are rotten." That's what Mama said when I go downstairs to ask her about something. So I replied "Maybe it has worm in it and created a hole in it?" She said yes and that is why she had to throw them. Those tomatoes are already big so it's just sad that worms made a hole in it. We need pesticide to stop the worms no? But, she doesn't really want to use some pesticide because she wants the tomatoes to be as organic and healthy to eat which I agreed on ┐⁠(⁠ ̄⁠ヘ⁠ ̄⁠)⁠┌

So what Mama did was cover them in a plastic, I look it up on good if it was safe and according to it, it is safe but we just have to make sure that it doesn't touch it leaves. And according to it too, the purpose of covering it was to protect it from frost and wind which is really far from Mama's reason. Her reason was to protect it from worms (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Mama is sad for that four tomatoes that was thrown away, but, we got another blessings because the tomato tree that we thought won't ever bear any fruit is now hitik or full of tomatoes in it. She's so happy and so am I and she noticed how it was shaped in oblong, like a bulb like tomatoes. It's cute!

There's still baby tomatoes that continuously sprouting and we're just so happy to monitor it everyday. Feels like everyday, there's a new one sprouting. The last time Mama check, there's already 16 baby tomatoes in it already.

We're hoping to have more soon, haha. Like this one is taller than me now you know, so it's really like a tree, so we're expecting a good tomatoes on it.

And while i'm checking the tomatoes, look what I got here. And OMG! I just whisper on it, hoping that it will understand and can hear me: "you can hop in my finger, come on, I don't bite." And OMG again! It really does stop on my finger. Like, I want to keep it!

But I calm myself down because my excitement is just too much. Memories come flashing too after this, back when I was a kid, I used to catch dragonfly and I will just hold them on their wings. But doing that to this tiny damselfly is impossible, it looks so fragile here coz its tiny

Gosh, this small thing is really enough to make someone happy. And this very moment really bring nostalgia to me. Visiting Mama's garden can always made me experience something fun and awesome,

This is the reality of a gardener may mga masisira talaga na bunga or plants along the way, I amazed na nilagyan talaga ng cover ang kamatis. I hope you can harvest it soon.

Yep, yep, always ♪┌|∵|┘♪

That's true, those things will always have the first taste of the first fruit we plant. It's annoying sometimes ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
