Problem: A few days ago we had the ceremony of the first tomato . I lost all my tomato plants to blight last year , so it was a relief to have our first tomato no matter how small . However , it looks like our tomato season will be a short one , as blight has ripped through half of my plants this week . Fingers crossed I got to the rest of them in time with a last ditch spraying of Bordeaux mixture . I know lots of you will have had lots of tomatoes already , but I only grow them outdoors .

What will happen to the narrator economically ?

What has the narrator been eating ?

A: They 've been having sugary treats .
