My apartment compost finally finished after what felt like FOREVER.

That wait made me value SLOW growth in everything.

Totally get that feeling of waiting forever for compost. It makes the final result so much better when it finally happens. @miaw67 mentioning those nine-week tomatoes really lines up with that. Everything good seems to need its own slow time to become what it's supposed to be. Rushing it just wouldn't give you the same thing. The waiting part is honestly what builds the value.

My friend's balcony tomato took nine weeks to fruit.

That weird earthy smell is actually a good reminder you're on the right track. The wait isn't just a delay, it's the whole point.
