They were still growing---Not much fruit until they stopped growing.
Once the cherry tomatoes started showing up, we had bets how many would come from that center plant, so every day, Whoever picked them would count them & add it to the list on the fridge. It ended up 3,852 Cherry Tomatoes from that one plant. And we didn't count any that were bad & had to be tossed.
That was 3,852 that were eaten. from one plant.

I can truthfully say that almost 4000 tomatoes from one plant is a record that will NEVER be broken.

Now that is a good method

Not much here , tossed some of last years garlic parts into the ground to try them again. Last year I let most of the tops go to seed and the bulbs ended up small with just a few cloves each. We ate the biggest ones and the rest I just cut the stems about 3' , brushed the dirt off them , and tossed them on a bench in the unheated grudge for the winter.
4 tote bins with peppers ( mostly jalops) and 3 mater plants in the other two bins ( Wife didn't find another plant for 2nd bin so it just got one)
Trying corn in a bin but doesn't look like enough came up to polinate themselvs
Some volunteer mater plants popped up in the ground we planted the extra plants last year , we'll see what they do
