We seem to have a mystery plant growing in our garden. I have noticed that smaller versions of this plant have been popping up in our garden. Well, this one popped in just the right place. Just to be curious, I decided to let it grow since it had plenty of room. The bigger it got, the more it started to look like a tomato plant. After looking at the plant today, I am more convinced that this is indeed a tomato plant.
Due to my lack of gardening knowledge, I have felt for the past year and a half like I have been wing'in it. Just sticking seeds and plants in the ground and hoping they would grow.
I now have a new first in my gardening experience. I was at work yesterday when the light bulb went off with my answer to the mystery tomato plant.
It seems that the rotten/yucky Roma tomatoes from last year, that got tossed back into the garden as compost, are now actually starting to grow on there own in my garden. Some of the many weeds that I have been pulling are actually tomato plants. I'm sure most of you seasoned gardeners are aware of this possibility, but it is a total surprise to me. I wasn't even thinking that this could happen when we were throwing last years tomatoes back into the garden.
So now, it seems I have a third kind of tomato growing in my garden this year.
Is anyone going to need some tomatoes this year???
