I dug a pit that I'm going to use for a toilet in the future, and a tomato plant self seeded in it in spring, and is still flowering and fruiting almost into December, while my other tomato plants all stopped setting fruit. I never watered the plant and I'm in the Mediterranean, with no summer rain. So pits have certainly piqued my interest.

I love amaranth and lamb's quarters leaves, but take care not to eat them during a drought as they tend to gather nitrates rapidly when they can't get to water. I learned this the hard way and the stomach pains were excruciating. They can also gather nitrates if they're over-fertilized.
