Tomatoes Growing on the Beach

On the beach just beneath the swings in the Massney Braes, I was surprised to see tomato plants apparently thriving - and not just one or two, there must have been at least 20 to 30 plants. They must be very tolerant to salt, because in the afternoon the high tide was only inches away from them.

Some of the plants already had small tomatoes, forming although I think it's probably unlikely that they will grow and ripen before the first frosts.
