The tomato plant

 


 

Mike planted some tomato seeds
in the soil. He watered the seeds regularly.


After two weeks, the seeds started to sprout. Mike could see some tiny green leaves on little stems.



 

After three more weeks, his plants were growing taller.  He waited and waited. 

One day, he saw some yellow flowers  between the leaves.  After a while little fruit appeared and the flowers fell on the ground.  



Mike was very excited about his tomatoes. 

He waited until the tomatoes were big and ripe.  Then he picked them.  He gave some tomatoes to his mother and sold the others to the neighbors.



Mike asked his mother to save some seeds.  He wanted to keep the seeds because he could plant them and grow more tomatoes.
