Plz identify this plant/weed (I think it's tomatillo)
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: http://zootal.no-ip.info/stuff/2007/...s/DSCF8976.jpg http://zootal.no-ip.info/stuff/2007/...s/DSCF8978.jpg This is a real tomatillo that I planted: http://zootal.no-ip.info/stuff/2007/...s/DSCF8957.jpg 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! |

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. C |

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