I love how you were able to convey MC's dread and fear, them trying to retain their hope even though it feels hopeless. Focusing on the small things, almost insignificant thing like a crushed tomato helps bring light to how MC would react to a more important issue when they can barely hold it with just their garden slowly dying. How the characters have such limited knowledge of what they know and only information that can hardly be called that, the restlessness of not knowing how they'll continue on with the future-- Nicely done!
