This was the last tomato on this plant. The plant had basically long since started to dry out and the section where this small tomato was had become very shrivelled, with the branches all brown and dried out. When I first saw the last young green tomato, I was going to just get rid of the entire plant, but instead I thought I would just leave it and see how long it took till it went the same way as the branches.
Instead it surprised me and started to ripen. I couldn't believe it. It simply hung in there despite the state of the rest of the plant and drew strength from somewhere to keep growing and ripen. It made it all the sweater to eat this, the last tomato of the season.
