Och aye the noo

Dew licked lobes of the runt tomato.

This bucket of tomato is not growing like the others. We have no idea why: The seeds come from the same packet and the soil mix all came from one pile. For why-ever the plants in this one bucket are meekly 20% the size of the others.

While watering the plants this morning I noticed discoloration on the tips of many of the leaves in that bucket and thought, “Oh no! It’s diseased!”

After seeing the dew on the other plants it still took a moment to comprehend the variation was the result of viewing angle and refraction..

Other tomatoes are taller.
