Solanum lycopersicum and tough as nails

On one of my walks I've been watching this most determined tomato plant grow and fruit.









It's not easy to see where it's growing out between two blocks of cement but I think you get the idea.

Re: tagging. Had I been able to tag, I would have tagged this "berry: tomato" following the morphology scheme. Elke and [personal profile] melannen, are you going to do all the tagging? On the up side I have learned the difference between a drupe, a pome and a berry, so my time has been well spent.

The smell of tomato leaves is one of my favourite in the world.
