Tomatoes

"Try, try again," that was our motto in growing tomatoes at Ons Buiten.  Every year the same story:  plant the seedlings, stake them, give them our best compost, rejoice in their growth, water them through the occasional dry stretch, watch them swell up like balloons when the monsoon arrived--July one year, August the next--swell up, split, fall, and rot.

Depressing.

But now we face a waterless summer, all but guaranteed.  And so:  try, try again.

Felix's first regular chore:  watering the tomatoes.  Wish us luck.
