Meet Sally

As sad as this plant may look, we have been cultivating her in the same pot since we bought her as a "baby" in November and she still continues to provide us with tomatoes.

Meet Sally our trusty little tomato plant with great determination. Here, in Desert Hot Springs the weather now is hot, hot, hot and dry, dry, dry. Over the winter months the daily temperatures here hovered from the mid-60'sF to the low-80'sF during the day but often dipped to near freezing overnight. We never covered Sally, just watered her daily and she starting providing us with fruit in December. Now with spring well under way and the overnight lows and daytime highs warming, Sally continues to blossom. As lifeless as she may appear there is even evidence of new growth. Today we harvested three more ripe tomatoes and there are several more in the works.

She is certainly a fiesty little plant and was well worth the initial $10 investment. You go girl!
