My surprise visitors

I have a small roof-top garden at home where I grow a variety of roses and a few other common flowering plants. I remove the weeds once in a while to ensure the plants get the most of it all from the manure. As I was doing it one day, I noticed a few tiny seedlings of what it appeared to be of the same plant. The tiny leaves were elongated with a tapering tip and resembled those of a chilly plant. Curiosity I blame, wanted them to stay for a longer time till I actually come to a conclusion of what that was.

A week passed and the seedlings were shooting out very well and there was a slight modification in the shape of the leaves. The newer leaves were tooth like and the small stem had tiny hair like structures of what I remember seeing on the tomato plants. So are these the tomato plants? Wow! My joy knew no bounds. I was literally jumping out of surprise and happiness because I had never actually sowed them. I assumed those seeds were in the manure I had got from a friend.


I watered them well, spoke to them every day (No, I ain't retarded) =P and the flowers started blooming after a month, tiny tomatoes started peeping out and this is how they are today:




Just when I was having this dying urge to start an organic terrace garden of my own and have been quite researching into it, this comes as a great boost to me! Hoping to grow more of them sooon!

And yes, will make something out of this after the harvest guys! ;) Cheers!

P.S: Did you notice the tomatoes by the way? =P
