“I rode right to my plot in the Upshur Community Garden in Petworth from work​ and forgot a container for my tomatoes, so had to get a little creative. These are a variety of sun gold, sakura cherry and lemon boy. (Note to fellow cyclists: I only had to bike three short blocks south without wearing my helmet.)”
