About 6 weeks ago I pulled all but one tomato plant due to blight. This last plant had 1 baby tomato growing on it, and I stubbornly refused to let it go. I trimmed the affected leaves and babied the plant hoping to save that last tomato. Fast forward to now, we've had weeks of cooler weather and less rain. The plant came back with gusto, and what was once a single tomato became over 30!! The photos don't do it justice! I suspect this is a San Marzano (I had planted about 8 varieties so it could possibly be Roma). I'm hoping the next week or so will be mild but warm enough to start ripening some so I can live out my homemade sauce dreams!

Congrats! I hate giving up on tomato plants, so seeing this one bounce back makes me genuinely happy. I hope you get enough to live your homemade sauce dreams!
I had something similar last year with a cherry tomato plant that looked beyond saving, and it ended up giving me more fruit than any of the others. Fingers crossed you get a great harvest for your sauce!
