As it was toward the of summer when I planted my garden I only planted one tomato vine. I really only planted it because Poppet goes mad for tomatoes. So because it was for him I decided to plant tiny thumb size tomatoes. I also want him to experience the wonder of seeing the lovely fruit grow. I know I was always fascinated to see fruit and veggies pop out of a plant and grow when I was a child.

Over the last few weeks there’s been a few ripe tomatoes ready to pick everyday. When ever Poppet notices the vine, usually once or twice a day, he asks for ‘matoes’. I only pick a couple for him because I know that as soon as he finishes them he starts chanting ‘more matoes, more matoes’. So I do this a two or three times before running out of ripe ones. The other day when I was working in the garden I picked about twelve tomatoes and put them in a dish. Poppet saw them a came running. Just have a few I said as he took the booty inside to eat while watching tv. Ten minutes later he came out and started with his ‘more matoes’. I know they’re small but I can’t believe how many a two year old can eat.
