    It’s been bountiful here too a little closer to Orlando! I thought mine were goners after the first cold snap like 2 months ago, so I just stopped doing much to care for them, anticipating getting to plant a new round of cool weather plants (yeah right, lol). They’ve just kept going and kept producing delicious tomatoes. They’re all super neglected now, and seem to have some kind of blight but every time I go out to see if they’re finally done, they’ve just got a bajillion more ripe tomatoes on their vines. I actually think they’re reaching the end of their useful lives now, but I am positive I’ve gotten more yield from neglecting them than I ever got from babying my tomatoes in the past. I’m not sure if that’s partially due to planting them late in the summer or what (first time doing a late summer/“fall” planting), but I do like not having to fuss over them! 😂 SO much tomato sauce, lol.
