So... tomatoes. Specifically tomato plants. Really, why are they so dramatic???

I naively though this year at the gardening store "Tomato plants! I could grow tomatoes!". My mother had tomatoes every year. Her mother had tomatoes. I hated tomatoes as a kid, but the smell of tomato plants still means "summer" to me.

Little did I know. 6 tomato plants left the garden store with me...
