janestarzRemember way back in April? When I told my father about growing tomatoes on the balcony he exclaimed that I was too late with sowing my seeds and how I would have green tomatoes on the stem in September.
As it happens, so I do. But then, I also have numerous red tomatoes on the stem. And my father is celebrating his birthday this weekend.
We've decided to revisit last year's fantastic idea and gift him a fruit basket. We've got a grapefruit, a pineapple, two minneola tangerines, a mango, figs, passion fruit, prunes...and some fresh tomatoes. Right from the stem. Red as a fireman's truck. Tiny, tasty tomatoes.
I can't wait to see his face tonight when we give him the basket.
Today will be spent mostly on getting the house clean enough to my taste so we can receive![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nathreee and her Remco tomorrow. NoKey's already cleaned more than I can remember and we've packed large boxes of unpainted nerfs into one smaller box that fits all the loose parts.
I'm seeing more floor space than I've seen in months, and it makes me happy for some strange reason.
The weather is rather humid so I'm sweating a lot. There's still two loads of groceries to be done...before we cycle to het Zalmhuis where we will be meeting my father for dinner.
