(me aunt cherry was sunbathing in this fantastic allotment once, and this massive antenied freaky sludger of a snail - Burt I believe his name was; slimed his way over across the soil - she couldn't do anything but wait - for two whole days! and 'e got trod on the next day! what a waste!)IDEAL MR T: Tall, Green, Adventurous, GSOH, Doesn't mind a bit of wind.IDEAL ROOT TO ROOT: Mint, - How do they stay so fresh?! Hello!First of all I should introduce myself. My name is Miss Plum. I have sixteen beautiful green leaves (similar to the colour of grass).I am full of clorophyll and raring to grow.I like sunshine, but wilt a little when it's too hot. After sunbathing I sometimes like a bit of rain to cool down.Today has been a crazy day. First of all I was with Chaomious, and then she gave me away! One minute Im in a suitcase, presumably going places then i slumped on some desk that stinks of turps (When I was younger I used to think I was a turnip).Next thing I know, I got some blimin plastic bag being wrapped around me - I mean hello - I'm alive - I need oxygen. You know as soon as you've gone into that really dark place of someones rucksack that your life is gonna be short lived. I thought that was it. i thought the next thing I'd see would be good old burt warbling across white fluffy clouds!Luckily instead, I'm sat in front of this computer. The rooms not bad, bit dim at the mo, I think I could be comfortable here. Not many other tomatoes though. hummm.What's that over there, its narrow an a bit like a thick root - like a cylinder I think, it looks silver inside but has got like a gold nd black wrapper. It's also got a plus at one end and a minus on the other end - humm, whats it say 'DUR,' ooh, hang on 'DURA..DURAC...DURACELL'. 'DURACELL' Where do Duracell grow?What's this down here, there's a blue plastic bit with two holes, one slightly larger then the other then they join by two long metal things that overlapSCISSORS, oh my god oh my god, SCISSORS! sCISSORS! TOMATO ALERT TOMATO ALERT, THERE ARE SCISSORS NEARBY - SENDING SOS - SCISSORS!!!!!!!!!!!to be cont.....

Travelling Tomato Plants

There are so many tomato plants in my garden, I don't know if the people like them or they could enjoy to look after the plants, if they would tell me about their tomato plants?If they are just normal tomato plants?
I'm very happy most of tomato plants have gone, I imagine everyone has their own journey and I wonder where they up to?

It's very exciting to see Wendy's tomato plant because they live in London.
In the photos the plant is growing very well and beautifully,I'm sure they are very happy.

Nature

"At its most successful, my 'touch' looks into the heart of nature; most days I don't even get close. These things are all part of a transient process that I cannot understand unless my touch is also transient-only in this way can the cycle remain unbroken and the process be complete." -Andy Goldsworthy

Original:

After 7 years of British countryside life, I start to explore a part of special British life style: Gardening work.

2006, I started with 3 plants of zucchini(courgettes)and 4 plants of different types tomatoes.Observing nature is amazing, looking how it grows and creating the production.That's a beautiful experience in this kind of world,you seems to purify.I was so happy with my plants started to take photos and draw them...

To share my joy,one day I brought some zucchini to my friend Yuki, in London. When I saw The Gerkin, I thought about my grown zucchini which had never seen the world so I asked my friend to show my zucchini London and we took a photo of them together. So with Yuki and my zucchini,we had a tour in London.

Therefore,I liked travelling with my Veg.

When I was going to Italy for the summer holiday and saw a big tomato in my garden, I was very worried that unpredictable the British weather was not good for it.I decided to take one with us even though it was still premature, I imagined the hot weather would be good for it. I was so proud of my green tomato which I showed to my family and neighbours in Italy. I've to say it isn't a clever idea to show the Italian a tomato.

A few day before back to England, the green tomato become strangely orange,it was scandal for the Italians, to see such an alien thing from England.Tomato should be red! I thought maybe it needed to get more sunshine, so I took it to have a Italian summer holiday tour and took photos of its travels at the seaside,to the mountains and in the west coast of Italy.

I don't know what the tomato thinks of its experience, we ate it before coming back to England on the Apuane mountain.
