My landlords live in the front portion of the building I'm renting.
They adopted 2 of the One Hundred Positives.
They gave me one.
I had one.
That makes two.
1+1 = 2
It's still pretty fair since three of us have three tomato plants.
Right?
Right.
I'm glad the guilt has been lifted off my shoulders.
I live in a wee apartment with a backyard that is as large as my apartment (~300 sq ft).
This is the first time since my childhood home I've had grass...
100 sq ft of grass (cut with a push-mower, of course)
150 sq ft of brick patio
50 sq ft of garden beds
6 sq ft of tomato plants
The tomato plants are both doing quite well.
Here's a poor photo on them taken with my cell phone – my digital camera is broken.
They have been in the ground for one month.
The plant on the right almost bit it in a brief hailstorm last month,
but I quickly staked it, and she seems to be doing fine.
One of the plants has three teeny-tiny yellow pear tomatoes on it.
I'm quite excited since yellow pear is my favorite variety.
The color, the flavor, the shape, the low acid – what's not to love?

I love the things that share the space with your tomatoes. The blown glass piece (made by your hands, I presume) mirrors (no pun intended) the shape of the yellow pear tomato nicely. I agree with you on all the things that make a yellow pear a favorite. I remember as a little girl, my mom grew little pear shaped tomatoes in both red and orange.
I ended up with five tomato plants so imagine my guilt! The way I’ve justified this is that first, they are not all from the 100 giveaway. One was given to me (WonderBoy), one was intended for the 100 giveaway but was injured and I had to nurse it back to health (Amish Paste), and one was a volunteer from last year (Yellow Pear). The other two were from the giveaway (Ponderosa Pink and Viva Italia). I used the same logic as you did for having two — there are two of us. So all is right with the world and totally fair. :—))
