Tomato Down!

What's the first thing you like to do when you get up in the morning?  Brush your teeth?  Have some breakfast?  Pester your Mystical Roo for a cup of tea?  Don your leopard print wellingtons, grab yourself a broom and head outside - in your nightie - to clear the drain that has blocked once again?  Not my first choice of activity but necessary if one wants to save their beloved plants.  Deja-vu?  Too many bloody questions?  Yes.  The balcony has flooded again.  Damn my weather controlling ways!  Damn them!!!  The plants didn't seem too concerned but I had noticed the loss of several tomatoes overnight.  It was a sad sight to seem them floating about in the flood water like little red...things.  I think I lost about four in total.  Four whole tomatoes.  I can only assume that during the storm last night they were snatched from the plant and cruelly thrown into the water.  The horror.  Either that or we've got a case of night time land dwelling shark activity.  Unlikely though as I hear they're not fond of wet weather.  They are land dwelling after all.  I have offered the lost tomatoes to the Johns in the tree outside, hoping that something good can come of this.  Lets just hope the Johns don't get a taste for tomatoes and come looking for more.  Perhaps I didn't think this through.  On a brighter note, the mint is already growing like a monster.  I can see he is going to need repotting in the very near future.  I think I might team him up with the lemon tree in the battle against next door's bamboo.  A cunning plan.
