Tomato plant

So, here it is...

Someone gave it to us when it was quite small,  and after putting it in a bigger pot it started to grow quite fast. It's not me who takes to edible plants, but I must admit I think tomato flowers are beautiful!

I think it's meant to be a cherry tomato, and hopefully one day it'll give us some fruit. I've done nothing but worry about it these days - there was one day I really thought it was the end of it, after a huge storm - I'm pretty sure part of the plant went missing! Anyway, it's growing nice green leaves and lovely yellow flowers, and I don't really know what's going to happen when the next storm comes. The only thing we've done is buy it a frame (intended for training morning glories, but who cares!). I've been looking up ways of strengthening the stems - the fan is not an option, the wind will do that already! Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see...

Ah, my beauty... (just ignore the 'slime' on that leaf above the flowers!)
