Tiny Harvest

The single cherry tomato plant I bought in June has grown taller than I ever thought it would. It's been tied and jerry-rigged and is still producing flowers and fruit.

Last week, I harvested this bunch of beauties — just enough to drizzle with olive oil and mix with fresh-ground pepper, basil snipped from the pot right next to the tomatoes on the deck, and fresh mozzarella. 

The salad was yummy ... and what made this tiny harvest taste even better was knowing we'd grown the tomatoes right on the deck.
