Title: Grow Your Own – Part 4 – Sequel to ‘Grow Your Own – Part 3’

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 398: Cherry at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: What a difference a year makes!

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

Come spring, Ianto’s cherry trees were full of blossom. They’d grown a lot over the past year.

“They look pretty.” Jack sounded surprised.

“Not just a handful of twigs anymore, are they?”

“They look more like trees now,” Jack agreed.

The blossom fell and the cherries started to form. Ianto removed a lot of them so as not to overtax the trees in their first year, and rigged up netting to keep the birds off.

Later that summer, as they shared the first sun-warmed ripe fruits from their trees, Jack had to admit that they were well worth the wait.

The End

Hmmmmm... cherries. I love cherries! And here I was thinking that Jack would use some alien fertilizer to speed things up LOL

[bk_forever]

Ianto vetoed that idea, he wants his cherries as natural as possible, lol!

Cherries are my favourite fruit, but I end up with purple splodges and streaks everywhere whenever I eat them =P

Thank you!

Mmmm, yummy cherries. Ianto will teach Jack the virtues of patience even if it takes all eternity.

When you're going to live forever, patience is a necessity. Cherries are also a necessity ;)

Thank you!

Now I want cherries XD
My parents have one cherry tree; its fruits are not as big as store-bought, but taste just as good :)

I have a small tree in a tub, but despite netting it, the birds still manage to get the fruit before I do =/

I love cherries =D

Thank you!

I have a cherry tree in a tub, hoping I can get the fruit before the birds do this year. I also have gooseberries that are almost ready to pick =)

Thank you!
