“It’s just a stupid waste of time!” Instead, she sowed her tomato seed directly outside when the air and the soil warmed up. The next year, Goldilocks promised herself she wouldn’t make thatmistake again. Goldilocks failed to make her famous red tomato chutney that year. By the end of the summer, it was finally starting to recuperate, but then frost hit. When spring came around and the ground warmed up, she carefully planted her big, weak tomato plant in the garden, but it failed to thrive at first. Before long, the weak stem reached the ceiling! Heavens, the plant even began to bloom indoors, but only very weakly. Still, she carried on, supplying stakes to hold it up. Soon, it was so tall and weak it began to flop over. But then it began to look a bit spindly: pale green and overly tall. “It’s too tall!”, lamented Goldilocks!Īt first, it grew vigorously and she was thrilled. It’ll just be extra big when I plant it out and I’ll have tomatoes even earlier in the season.” And so, she continued watering and fertilizing and caring for her seedling. Upon further consideration, though, she relaxed. It’ll be at least 12 weeks before all danger of frost is out of the air!” As she finished, she noticed on the seed pack that it recommended sowing tomatoes 6 weeks before the last frost date. So, she got out her seed packs and sowed a tomato seed. It was an especially warm day in February, bright and sunny, and she just felt as if she had to sow something. Once upon a time, Goldilocks, who was, as is well known, a serious gardener, was getting a bit antsy.
