Since the mix included a lot of my homemade

seeds from the past and (b) the mix is nutritious!

I kept transplating these tomatoes �to the veg. garden, where they
flourish like mad. �Not a clue as to what variety is what, but I trust
they will all taste good. If all goes well (no wilt, please heaven)
there will enough to can -- first time in several years. �Other good
thing is that the plants are different sizes, so the smaller ones will
bear longer (?) than the big ones.

Anybody have similar experience?

I always have at least some volunteer tomato plants each year, but then I
also have volunteer other plants too. �The volunteer tom plants usually (but
not always) grow where a tomato has fallen the previous year and rotted on
the ground. �Many people who have septic systems say that toms sprout in the
leach field. �We've never had that happen.

That'sa the *real* italian tomat... romas bafongool!
