Last year I had some tomatillos planted in the center of a tomato/pepper
patch, and I planted them so close together I could not get to the
tomatillos. I didn't harvest any from them, and I'm guessing several dozen
or more fruits dropped and rotted on the ground. This year, I have in that
one area only, hundreds of little plants growing. I thought at first they
were weeds, but they only grow in this one area, and now that they are
getting bigger, they look very suspicisously like baby tomatillos. Here is a

This is a real tomatillo that I planted:

I don't recognize a weed that looks like that - I've started to think that
they are indeed tomatillos from last year. And there are literally hundreds
and hundreds of them!

That's how I got cherry tomatoes the second year after I threw the old
plant in my fire pit. By spring there were doezens of baby plants just
waiting to be transplanted.

Ditto with pumpkins, too. I cannot get rid of these things.

Tough problem to have

My neighbor had a dog that love graped tomatoes. Things sprung up all over
the place.

But they don't grow where I want them to grow and if I tranplant them
(out of the fire pit, for example) then they don't grow at all.

Ew. Don't eat those termatters!

Since they are still sprouting 3 years after the dog passed, I imagine they
are safe enough...

Only if you take a truckload of horse manure with them. It's mandatory.

Don't have a truck, would a garden cartload work? We get compost from the
chicken/rabbit/geese droppings that might help supplement.

No, you need a truck. Possibly a semi. I have a draft horse. He makes
LOTS of manure.

Hourly.

Crap(um I just realized that wasn't the best word to use)...there are lots
of truckers around here, but I have no idea how to drive a semi, so that's
out. What kind of draft horse? Clydesdale?

Oh thank you, I needed the laugh. It was a crappy day yesterday and today
will be as bad.

AND

I dearly wish I knew some one with a horse that would give me manure...

He's a PMU foal: Shire/Belgiun cross. About 1700# of manure maker. See
him here in the HORSES folder:

The little horses are just lawn decorations.
