Our two tomato plants (cherry, Sweet 100 variety; grape, Santa variety) have been thriving - the Sweet 100 is quite bushy and at least 6' tall! Both now have a dozen or more clusters of little green tomatoes on them. We harvested the first few tomatoes a week or so ago, and have been getting at least 4 or 5 a day the past few days. Looks like those numbers will start rising steeply pretty soon, though, given the dozens of little greenies that are getting paler by the day and starting to turn orange.
These are doing SO much better than when I tried growing tomatoes in containers on the deck - we've already harvested more than we got all last summer.
Better yet, the replacement zucchini plant seems to be thriving. I'd be delighted if we actually manage to get a zucchini off the thing before the weather turns colder.
