Yes, from my travels in Mexico, I know the "pericon".  It is a closely related species, Tagetes lucida. My peeps and I use it with tobacco. It's called Mexican Anise up here. Kind of tricky starting from seed, but a lovely perrenial once it does.

After the rain, mushrooms!

A tiny tomato.

The tomato plant made exactly two tomatoes.  One is still on the vine. One ripened and fell off.

The fallen happens to be a midget.  (Led Zeppelin joke: It really said "My short Satan.")

This is a real picture, not a scaled down photoshopped tomato.  The proportions are classic tomato.

It's so small (how small is it?)  It's so small that a cherry tomato could kick its ass.

But it brings me joy. I mean, look at it.

Time to make a tiny salad. Or dress a tiny hamburger.

Or G I Joe could throw it and smash it into Barbie's face, shaming  her.

Or I could "can it." But that would require a midget mason jar.

Jim Gaffigan: What is that? Is that an insulin vial filled with blood? Did you can that yourself?

This may be better suited for the politics section, but, it brings me great joy:

Yeah, we were all peeking around the corner giggling, and wondering when you were going to notice you'd cropped your crop out of the picture.  Get a loaf of cocktail rye and you can make tiny BLTs!

Just made the filling for home made potato and cheese pierogies - It has to set in the fridge overnight, then I can make my dough and fill and boil. Generational holiday tradition. It brings me joy to do this for family and friends!  :)

You would think that I would post this on the Politics board but no, it brings me joy that our president can pull a Noory/Biden job with the Good Book.

You should consider being the official tomato grower for the YT guy that produces the tiny hamster videos!
Just a thought.
BTW, better luck with your tomato garden next year Cam!

Ah, Yorkie- you make me laugh! I've been married to the same lovely man for so long, I wouldn't know what to do with a new one. LOL  ;D

Thanks for defending my honor, West! You're a good man and I wish you much happiness.
