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 pic:

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.
