This past summer I had a cherry tomato plant sprout at my front

cherry tomatoes until frost.

Did you buy sod, sludge or organic fertilizer recently? Tomato seeds
survive a trip through the digestive system.
When they were recycling sludge in DC everyone had cherry tomatoes in
their yard if they were anywhere in that stream.


No, nothing had been done to the flower bed in a couple of
years. There was mulch already in there and that one tomato
plant grew to well over 6 feet tall. I knew I had done nothing
so it had to be a bird or a squirrel.
