Volunteer Tomato setting fruit!!!

[rebbetzin]

I do hope this plant won't be damaged from our hard freezes forecast for the next few days.

I put a cover over the area and have a heat lamp set up for tonight.

That's so uplifting to see this time of year! Hope you can save it.

Hi, Is that a tomato you had growing elsewhere in the yard? The flower seems extra large.

The seeds would be worth keeping.

We had a plant start by the gray water from the kitchen at the lower ranch,gave us many tomatoes. The last freeze killed it.

No. The place it came up used to be a a "play yard" for my chickens. So... it is probably a seed from an old tomato I fed them months ago now. I am glad it is in a place I can cover and put a lamp to keep them warm. I am excited so far it is doing well. 25 degrees here at the moment!

In Tucson you might be able to keep that plant going, with a small visqueen shelter over it, it could maybe keep alive till spring, when it would go for another season.
