I bought tomato seedlings at Ag Day in October and planted them about a month later. They didn't grow. But amazingly one of them didn't die.
Instead it stayed the same size until the rain started up again. And then it grew and fruited. This is the meagre crop to date. I don't mind at all though, given the fight that the plant put up through a long hot summer. Fried green tomatoes, anyone?
In contrast, my kale is still producing well, over a year since I cut the first leaves. This week I made kale chips (which were surprisingly delicious) and kale pesto (which was also a great success). I do hope the plant keeps going for a while longer yet!
