I'm working on pulling together a few more catch up blogs, but after spending time out in the garden picking tomatoes today, I had to take some pictures of our ridiculously prosperous tomato plant. When my mother bought the plant it was one of 3 in a pack for $7. The other two were planted in pots, and are doing respectably well, but Godzilla is just an overachiever.
That is a loveseat size chair underneath it holding it up in the front. We would have put a better cage around it, but we didn't get to it with my mother's foot surgery, and by the time we got a small back together it was to large to really be able to do much more than punt in the front.
Seriously! Can you believe that this is just ONE tomato plant?
We harvested over 20 tomatoes just today, and we've harvested another 20-30 in the last few weeks. Thats impressive on it's own but there are easily at least 40 more tomatoes of various sizes growing on this plant. We've gotten several from the others, but nothing like this! Good thing I love tomatoes. And homemade tomato soup :)
