I was up potting and culling some of my tomato seedlings. Had a Cherokee purple left after up potting four and put it in the greenstalk to see what happens and the darn thing is doing great. No hardening off or anything. If I thought it was going to survive I wouldn’t have put it in the top spot 🫠

A few years ago, one of my most productive plants was a volunteer that I assume resulted from a tomato that got dropped when I was pulling up the garden from the previous year. It was in a side yard that had a few inches of pea gravel on top of plastic sheeting to prevent weeds. It managed to find a seam in the sheeting and was able to establish roots into some pretty hard-packed soil. No fertilizer or water other than the rain (Bay Area CA, so not much after March or so).
