Take the tomato out of the seeding dray. Gently unhinge the tightly curled roots. Break off the lower branch-lets. If this seems cruel, remember that it will only help the tomato flourish in the future. Put the tomato in the bottom of its new home. Nestle it in soil. Dark potting soil packed gently around the stem. Secure. Give your tomato a long drink. Watch as it sucks in water, sweet and wet.
Tomato wrapped up in earth
Sweet and soft, excited for
The coming springtime,
