I'm sorry

Dear Black from Tula tomato plant,

I'm sorry I put you in a pot that's far too small to accommodate your majesty. I'm sure that's why you produced exactly one tomato. One tomato that's been growing and greening for a month now. One tomato that was just about to start turning red, and then black.

And I'm sorry that a deer ate the one fruit you worked so hard to create.

I'm going to put you out of your misery because, frankly, you depress me.
