Here’s a rather pleasant surprise from just outside my front door.
This started out as a “volunteer” tomato plant. It just showed up in a patch of soil somewhere, and so I planted it in the front garden and left it, occasionally watering during a particularly dry spell…
Now it is very late in the Fall, and it is producing some tomatoes! It’s not a particularly interesting variety, but nice to see all the same, this late in the year. (And to taste…)
Because of the unusual warmth of the Fall, the main line of tomato plants in the vegetable garden (that were quite prolific during the Summer – see some earlier posts, e.g. below) have started flowering again, but I don’t expect to see a second harvest from them before the late Fall chill switches them off… But who knows?
