Amazing tomato

Mike always laughs about the fact that he grew up in the suburbs, and "has farming in his blood." (said with that southern accent!) So.... of course, we've started corn and green beans indoors (yes, you read that correctly, that means transplanting corn and green beans - anyone who is a farmer knows you don't do that...) to great, overwhelming success, and last year, Mike broke off a piece of one of his tomato plants at the end of the summer and said "I'm going to plant it and see what happens."

Yup, you guessed it, it is still thriving, and we've eaten several tomatoes from it. In fact, there are more blooms right now. Yes, grown in a window, indoors, in northern Michigan during the winter. Can you say, low sun angle, and grey days?

So, as evidence, here is the plant. Still looking good, still providing tomatoes for us, as if to say, "I'm really thankful you didn't leave me out side in the winter, so I'll just keep producing for you!" Go figure!
