    "Volunteer" plants

    I got so lucky with these this year! I had 2 tomatoes come up. I think they're cherry tomatoes, because a couple fell off the plants last year, but I won't really know for sure until they start producing. I also got a TON of some sort of pepper. they just keep coming and coming. I'm pretty sure they're peppers, but I don't know what kind yet. I grew a few kinds of chilis last year and a couple of them shed some peppers, but I also had chili and bell pepper seeds and stems in my compost, so they could have come from there as well. I guess it will be a surprise! Usually, the climate here doesn't really promote those kinds of volunteers, but we had a late winter and then a hot spring right off.

    Anyone else get any of these?

    I'm lucky if the plants I want to come up come up. I did have a situation where some of the seeds that had failed to sprout at all, sprouted in another planter when I recycled my potting soil. Which was odd considering the conditions required to get catnip to sprout... it came up in my rosemary in a few places...

    But they were doughnuts of darkness. Evil damned doughnuts, tainted by the spawn of darkness.... Which could obviously only be redeemed by passing through the fiery inferno of my digestive tract.
