This freaking tomato plant is crazy

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?



October 2011 - tallest plant climbing the trellis

November 2011 - lots of green tomatoes

December 2011 - lots of ripe tomatoes
                                                  
January 2012 - a sad looking harvest, but tasty
                                                 
March 2012 - survived winter, with minimal damage to leaves and there's a tomato!

April 2012 - after the frost, serious leaf damage and sad fruit

Late April 2012 - it's the ugly brown thing behind the chard

May 2012 - spindly and ugly, but alive

July 2012 - weird looking, but LOADED w/fruit

This plant is older than my cats, just sayin'.
