Tomato, one after another

the tomato,
star of earth, recurrent
and fertile
star,
displays
its convolutions,
its canals,
its remarkable amplitude
and abundance,
no pit,
no husk,
no leaves or thorns,
the tomato offers
its gift
of fiery color
and cool completeness.

 Pablo Neruda - Ode To Tomatoes

4 new tomato plants, 

just transplanted on the raised bed. on the left is the bushy flowering and fruiting winged beans. On the right is a single okra, basil, coleus, halia (ginger) and  kunyit (tumeric). The four stakes are of light weight bamboo brought here from Sitiawan, Kakdah's mom place.

another two tomato in pots, 

already flowering and staked with bamboo.

four matured tomato plants on raised bed. 







They look healthy but rather lanky due to shady environment.

The plants are flowering , with little fruits visible already. Two bigger plants are planted earlier. The other two younger plants awere added later to replace a plant that had wilted.

many more young seedlings 

ready to grow anywhere in the garden.



Because tomato is easy to germinate,

it is handy to have them ready intermittently,

so that tomato plant is always in the garden,

one after another.
