My wife and I have had vegetable gardens in the past with mixed results but last year a tomato plant grew in our main flower bed in the front yard all on it's own. This year another one grew even bigger and with probably 40 grape tomatoes. We didn't plant it or anything no fertilizer. I put some sticks to hold it straight but it has been challenging because that thing is like 7 feet tall and. We have eaten some of the tomatoes already. Isn't mother nature wonderful? Do you have one of those renegade and defiant vegetable plants at home?
Had a rogue watermelon plant once. It only produced a couple but they were delicious.
Well folks it is with a heavy heart that I have to say that the tomato plant is dying. Unfortunately a few days ago we had a storm with some heavy wind which is unusual for this time a year and it knocked the plant down and the roots came off the ground. It happened late at night and I could not put is back into the ground in time and I don't think there any way to salvage it. I am so disappointed but at we collected all the ripe tomatoes from it and there must have been over 20 of them. There is still probably another 20 tomatoes in it.

Those green tomatoes may still ripen. Put them in a sunny spot for a day or two before you throw them out.
If it was not a hybrid and is a regular leaf (verses rugose or potato leaf) you can likely save some seeds (best to ferment them first, then dry and store) and will likely get the same plant back next year.
I had a small cat nip plant on the deck for my cat that I got probably about 7 years ago. The original plant is gone but I have cat nip coming up every year now in my yard. Luckily it is sticking to the area around my small pond and flower bed. I don't mind it as it is also supposed to help with mosquitoes.
Oh, btw, my cat still partakes of it once in a while.

My tomato in a pot was near death from storms 3 times this summer. The main stem was split and bent. I wrapped it in flexible tape using a couple of wooden skewers as a splint. It worked.
