The first tomato of the season has now appeared. This little guy is about an inch in diameter but he's looking good. I noticed him two days ago in last year's garden along with many other flower buds. Since the winter garden has been much ignored, it seems that what I have to do to be successful is to pretend like I don't care! Ha! Nature doesn't need me to grow wonderful fruit. This is not the first time I have had really good luck with a tomato plant that lived past its season. Any time I have kept last year's tomato plant alive, trimming it back in spring and letting it go for another round, I have always had really good luck, probably because by then it has a phenomenal root system!

Sometimes plants are not too old
to rebloom and sprout fruit gold
Old is just a state of mind
for which this plant knows no time!
