I mentioned in another thread that my garden got flooded out and everything died. When I was out back today getting ready to pull up the little fence around my dead garden, I noticed 3 healthy looking tomato plants growing out of my woodpile! How the heck did they get there? lol The tomato plants I planted couldn't have spread seed, and I didn't plant anything back there last year. What are the odds that a bird pooped 3 tomato seeds in a woodpile right next to my dead garden? How else could they have gotten there?

wow
looks like you got hit pretty hard

Tomato seeds are extremely hardy little buggers. Any old vines with a rotten tomato will spout plants if given the right conditions.

If you had some flooding they could even have washed in.
The birds where I live never touch the tomatoes I grow so I doubt the poop probability.

Be interesting to see what variety you get..........

That's just it...the tomatoes I planted never got a chance to grow tomatoes, and the ones I did plant are all accounted for. In any case, I'm anxious to see what kind they are. I only planted beefsteak. Looks like the only tomatoes I'll get this year will be from the woodpile. I told my husband he'd better not burn it!!!
