When I water the young
tomato plants
in the greenhouse,
the aroma of them
earthy
green
richly wet
fills the close humid space.
Last summer I reached through
thick musky leaves
to grasp a sunshine sweet orb
and took a bursting bite.

The smell of tomato plants is one of my favorite smells. I intentionally brush their leaves all the time so that I can drink in that wonderful aroma.
Now I'm going to go upstairs to my seed starting room and smell my little tomato seedlings!
I am there with you!
