Something is coming out of my compost bin!!
Noticed this plant before thinking it was a weed growing next to my compost bin, but today I noticed it was actually growing out of a small slat in my compost bin. After a little more inspection I realized the distrinct tomato plant look and smell. Guess I was wrong to think those green tomatoes I threw in last fall were too immature to have viable seeds…

It is always fun to see what grows out of the compost bin. I used some of the soil in a part of the garden and now have a melon plant growing among the flowers

How neat is that? Do you think it will produce any fruit? I really need to start working more on my compost pile if I want some good soil for my veggie garden next year.

How fun!We had tons of tomato plants sprouting in our garden from last year.We’re going to let a few grow to see what happens – and whether they are all one variety or not.I think they are but you never know.

I am going to let this one go to fruit if it so chooses since I am pretty sure it is from composted tomatoes and not dropped seeds could have something of my own invention.
