Back when Sarah and Winnie had three little brown dogs, the middle-sized one was named Milo. Milo loved the little tomatoes that grew by the front steps, and the tomatoes reseeding themselves year after year just for him.
Milo is gone now, but the tomato plant comes back faithfully each year. Milo's little brown buddies showed little interest in the tomatoes and the current small dogs don't either. And yet Milo's tomato flourishes.
When I was considering what to plant in the large black container in the back yard, Milo's tomato came to mind. This is a different variety of little tomato than Milo's, but it will do for this year. The season is getting late and the selection is limited.
The container is big and a few other things will share the space, but Milo's tomato was the first thing planted.
