What began'as the curiosity of a little boy last fal grew to two five-foot potted tomnato plants. When Uic frost began nipping at our tomato plants, stili covercd with thc fruits of our labours, Kyle decided we could bring them in, keep them at a south window, and cat Uic ripening fruit Uius saved from Uic firost. We ate those temnatees, and Uic day 1 was going te take thc plants out te Uic compost, Kyle carne te their rescue .. ."Don't get rid of them! I'11 take care of theni this winter and we can have an early tomate crop next spring." We were skeptical. During Uic initial weeks of winter, Kyle lovingly cared for the tomato plants. We werc arnazed that they didn't die down, but actually thrived. He also kept an cagle eyc upon us fearing that we might snatch his little darlings from their place of warrnth and toss them with abandon on the compost. 1But, the time came when he forgot to water them. By then ... it was almost Christmas . .. we were fond of thc two flourishing tomate plants, and more dma a bit curious about their abiity te bear fruit. We all began to get involved with their care and in January a family scarch was undertaken forsome stakes to prop up Uic now four-foot plants. The y grew bushier and healthier with Uic loving care of our family. I consulted with several plan 'experts'1 te ascerL-in whether our tomato plants right produce fruit. "Why nfot?, they declared. In early April one bright yellow blossom revealed itself. It's emergence was occasion to celebrate. A few days later another, then another, and one of our tomato plants was covered in flowers. By this time, our dining room was filled with the aroma of tomato plant, and it was like spring in our house. Kyle leamed how to pollinate them with Q- tips. A few of our plant expert friends suggested that wc clip the flowers off one plant,. and let the other bear fi-ait. They were now curious as to whether the plant without fruit would continue to grow larger. Kyle hopes s0 because he wants to enter it at the Orono Fair in September as the largest (and oldest) tomato plant (is there such a category?). I'rn more interested in fmnding out whether a long-living giant tomato plant can bc claimed as a tax deduction . . . either as a dependent. or as a faim crop. Now Kyle, the advocate for indoor tomato plants, is adamant that bis precious sweet darlings stay in the house for the summer . . . can't have Nature messing around with prize contenders!
