This tomato plant survived the winter, and then survived three nights in a row of frost in April. It was about 80% dead foliage, I slowly cut off the dead stuff to make way for the new stuff. The new stuff kept growing and growing and then I went away. When I came back in June, this stupid plant was laden with fruit, now it has OVER 20 tomatoes on it. Maybe I can keep it alive for another year?
