A Single Tomato

My husband has a deep appreciation for juicy ripe tomatoes, so this year I decided to try my hand at a tomato plant.  The package said it would grow in cool or hot weather and eventually provide hundreds of sweet cherry tomatoes.  During the first week, half the leaves turned yellow and came off.  This morning a single green tomato appeared among the remaining leaves.  I’m tempted to think it’s mocking me.  Gardening is not all joy, my friends.
