Just hit my 50th tomato from a single balcony plant and I'm shook

I started growing a cherry tomato plant in a 5 gallon bucket back in April on my 3x4 foot balcony in Portland. Yesterday I picked tomato number 50 off that one plant and it still has more green ones coming. I thought I'd get maybe a dozen total since my space gets only 5 hours of direct sun. It made me wonder if I've been underestimating what a small balcony can actually produce. Anyone else hit a harvest number that surprised them this season?

yo @uma_reed26 that’s dope to hear! honestly sometimes the best things come out of nowhere like last week i got a free upgrade on my hotel room just cause i showed up early and they had an extra suite lying around. it was totally random but made my whole trip way better. stuff like that doesn’t happen often but when it does it’s the best feeling ever. happy for you getting that surprise, sounds like you earned it for sure.
