Good gosh it's getting huge! Hurry up warmth so addy can put that monster outdoors! It looks nice there in your window tho. Wonder if it would grow all year there just keep putting in a bigger pot?

We grew a yellow cherry tomato, the same plant for 3 years, out in the summer, a piece back for the winter, it would flower set tomatoes, then I would do another start, out it would go for the summer. I skipped it this last winter, we were gone too much to have it growing in the house.

So yes it will grow and give us fruit, it is just one of 7 tomato plants and two peppers

I have tomatos coming back from tomatos that got left on the ground each year .For some reason they get smaller each year but I don't mind that because they taste great and love just popping them into a salad
