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

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.



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

Ew. Don't eat those termatters!
