   Hi All,   
      
   About two weeks ago, we had two days at 29F.   
   It really, really messed up my tomato plant.   
   Good thing I picked all my green tomatoes   
   before the freeze.   
      
   The plant look as dead as it gets.  Now I   
   am use to growing cherry tomatoes, but this   
   year I decided to go big as picking cherry   
   tomatoes has gotten to difficult on my back.   
      
   My big tomato plant looked just like my cherry   
   tomato plants of years before after a freeze.   
   Totally pathetic.   
      
   But, the plant actually recovered and has new   
   tomatoes on it!  And another bad freeze two   
   days ago.  Plant again looked pathetic.  Plant   
   recovered again. Picked two nice ones today.   
      
   What the heck?  I did not think this was   
   even possible.
