Hardy tomato plants
I’m really surprised, as I think I’ve more frequently become every day that I continue growing these little plants. By all rights all of my tomato plants should be dead and I assumed that a couple of them had died. However four of the plants as soon as they got a bit of rain water on them came back to life and sprouted fresh vibrant new growth.
I think the point that I’m trying to get over to people, especially those who live in the city and only have small balconies and claim not to have green thumbs can really consider tomatoes because they are very strong plants that don’t need a huge amount of attention.
Consider the cherry tomato varieties and if you’ve got a big enough pot why not drop a little basil in there as well (kind of an all for one dish type of pot!).
If anyone does get inspired by this or is already growing plants in pots or small plots in the city send me some photos to brag and encourage others and I’ll either link to them or put them up here!

I got tons of tomatoes from my plants and i was growing them without a greenhouse outside in the UK. and i basically ignored them too.

Dan - they’ve started producing again but I don’t think they are very well - I’m hoping to start fresh at some stage with normal sized tomatoes.
