the beginning of the end

gonzi and i went to a screening of food fight a couple of weeks ago.  among the brown paper schwag bags given to all attendees were packets of tomato seeds.  julia child heirloom tomato seeds.  i finally planted two.  no plan for either one, but it seemed neat.  they lived inside a plastic bag on top of the heater for about a week.  today i went to check on them, and to my surprise and delight -- herro lil buds!!!

and so it begins.
