On an earlier post I noted that my tomatoe plant from last year was growing well in the greenhouse. The plant continued to grow very well and did a great job as an aquaponics water filter, but it was a complete failure as a tomatoe factory. I removed the plant from the grow bed several weeks with nary a tomatoe harvested. The following pictures show the size the plant got to (yes, that is a single plant) and the size of the stalks once removed from the planter.
Conclusion: don't bother with your tomatoe plants that survive past the first year. Plant new ones.
On a related topic, overwintered bell peppers do very well continuing to produce. You can see the bell pepper plants to the left on the photo of the tomatoe stalk photo.
