This time last year I was, once again, looking forward to planting tomatoes in a very small patch of soil I have surrounding my very small patio. This was the second year I had decided to do so with the help of a (now long lost) friend.....we cultivated and grew from seeds the best cherry tomatoes I had ever tasted.....sweet as the sunshine, perfectly round and red.....it was difficult for me to not pick them before they were completely ripened.....there was always a disagreement or two as to which ones needed to remain on the vines.....
But, that was last year......
I'm not sure if I have the internal strength to lovingly place those little seeds in the ground this year.....maybe I should let the soil rest and rejuvenate; give it a year off.....
Sometimes the smallest memories are the most difficult to let go, maybe I'm not ready yet...but then maybe next year my garden will want to grow again.....
