[OP has stated that her tomato plants grew back after a frost, therefore rapture is soon.]
God told us that he would provide for us. For those of you who live in a climate where growing these wonderful veggies is possible He is obviously changing things a bit for your benefit. Bless God, praise Him for His mercy and love toward you. It may be that in a little while you will be more than glad to have these extra harvests.

Mr. Blur,
Respectfully, tomatoes are both fruits and vegetables - it depends on who you are talking to. Scientifically, the tomato we eat is a fruit. But for growers, "fruits" are from trees and shrubs (apples, raspberries), and vegetables are parts of annual plants which humans eat. These definitions are not hard and fast.
He is obviously changing things a bit for your benefit.
Either that, or it's the global warming which you people keep denying.

Frankly, you've got more chance of $cientology founder L. Ron Hubbard auditing a tomato plant, to get it to tell him the actual meaning behind the ending of "The Big O" (instead of it being left for the viewers' 'interpretation'), than your precious (C)Rapture happening. And he's dead .
...and you're a louse, Sand-for-brains. [/R. Dorothy Wayneright] X3
Yeah "For those of you who live in a climate where growing these wonderful veggies is possible" apparently a big FU from God otherwise.
But guess what else you can do in your favored area? Buy locally grown ones too. And in my experience, in the service industry and seeing 100s of homes, most tomatoes go to waste in bumper years, good for my fried green tomatoe urges but wasteful otherwise.
And meanwhile, gardens not within a three mile radius...? This level of fundie blindness is baffling to me. If another Rapture fool posts how his/her tomatoes did not survive the frost, does that mean s/he is not on God's woosh list? Let alone if Sandee's tomatoes die early or don't grow well in upcoming seasons.
Oh, silly me, of course they would probably say God is testing them and/or it is just as sure a sign as the end of times. At least then the latter point would make a little sense-what about the goodbye-worldly-possessions-hello-heaven thing? I guess the claim would go that the extra tomatoes are intended as support for all the poor non-Raptured sinners.
There are tomatoes growing in my garden, but I will remain steadfastly atheist. Ok, we don't get any frost whatsoever here, but still. I'd still be atheist if I could grow tomatoes in Siberia.
Without basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, the bruschetta is going to suck. And, what about the crusty Italian bread?
Why didn't your god provide those things as well? What was he thinking?
Yeah, Bless God, praise Him for His mercy and love toward non-believers, torturing them horribly in hell for all eternity...sounds merciful and loving to me....
Yes, because genetic engineering is the sign of the rapture.
I like tomatoes anyway, so I hope "soon" means a long time later. It'll be tomato heaven!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
