My yard sale aero garden and expired mighty mini tomato seeds (from 2015) are finally ripening!!

Picked up an old AeroGarden Pro 100 at a yard sale for $5. It even came with tomato seed pods… which expired in 2015… haha
I tried one anyway just to see what would happen.
Somehow it sprouted, and now it’s covered in flowers with a bunch of little tomatoes already growing.
I’ve been bending it over little by little to keep it away from the light since the old AeroGardens don’t have much vertical room. It actually seems to be loving it.
I’ve just been using the nutrients that came in the same tomato pod kit (also from 2015) and pollinating the flowers every day or two with an electric toothbrush.
Honestly didn’t expect any of this to work. Has anyone else had ancient AeroGarden pods still germinate? Curious how long this thing will keep producing.
