The railways in Dordogne are less and less frequented by trains. Between the rails now grows a Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plant. It is not a wild tomato, probably it comes from a fruit eaten by a traveller, or maybe it went through some bird's intestine.
Tomates are autofertile, the pollen of a flower can fecundate the egg cells of the same flower. For this reason, quite often the 'children' af a tomato plant have the same traits for taste, size and colour as the original plant.
Will the station manager eat fresh tomatoes? It could be, those beautiful fruits still have some weeks to ripen before it gets too cold and dark.
