And BOOM out of nowhere...cherry tomatoes EVERYWHERE!!!!!

   Yup happens every year. The cherry tomato wars begin. As part of my quest to garden as organically as possible and of course my loathing of cleaning up, I pull my plants at the end of the season and leave them there. After they are thoroughly dried and I cant stand to look at the mess anymore, I discard the stems. My way of "kind of "
composting.

   Last year as my nutty sister helped me weed, I was informed that Daddy told her never to pull a volunteer tomato as they grew the best. Yes even though we are in our 50s he will always be Daddy.  I explained to her a weed is technically a plant growing where you don't want it to grow. It took her a while but towards the end of the weeding she understood. Trust me I would have a forest of cherry tomatoes if I did not pull them.

   This baby popped up approximately 2 weeks ago maybe less. It is already 10" tall and has blossoms. It towers over the tomatoes I started in January. That is why I never plant cherry tomatoes. I just let them grow where I have space. So far there is one by the cucumber Teepee, 2 by this stall and of course one next to the blueberry wall. Where did that come from ? Go figure.
