Askold and Dir

From it takes a village

Askold and Dir were 2 rulers of ancient Kiev according to myths with some hazy historical documentation by the Arab historian al Masudi.  Anyway it seems a fun name for these 2 Chinese pigs of Svitlana's.  They are cute little pigs, don't eat much because they're small, and they like to tear around the yard like puppies when they play!

And this is a real living tomato from Svitlana. I had never eaten a sprouting tomato before.
