This has not affected any other tomatoes in my garden, including it's "earth box" partner. I have never had another plant do that, so I am confused. I saved seed, but don't now if I should have.
The bowl of tomatoes was pick from the plant when I pulled it. There were ripe ones earlier, also. That is an excellent harvest, considering it is mid July in Michigan.

How very curious, Nancy- I haven't ever heard of what you describe. Yes, it really pumps them out, doesn't it?! Sorry that you lost your plant and if anyone has concerns about your keeping those seeds, I've got some bagged fruits so if they ripen, we're good.
The fruits I have look similar to the ones in your picture. Can't wait to taste one- I have two that are ripening on the counter.
