Classic tomato behaviour. They’re effectively the cats of the gardening world
probably lacked oxygen or something.
LOL I found 2 rogue tomatoes in my blueberry patch this weekend. Thanks squirrels!
I had one tomato seed germinate, and then 4 weeks later a second seed germinated in the same starter pot. I was able to separate them during transplanting, so I got lucky with both plants. The smaller one wasn’t even getting light before transplanting lol, I can’t believe she survived.
I got.my garden in, figured cantaloupe seeds were a bust after weeks and nothing. The same day my garden is done all the sudden 3 of them pop on up. seeds are the mean girls of the garden world 😂
Tomatoes will always find a way
I tossed some failed seedlings to the side on my back deck and forgot about the tray. A couple weeks later I walked by to see lettuce and broccoli sprouting. So I planted them lol
I planted carrots and did everything to make them germinate like keep moist and covered. Nothing and I was waiting and waiting. The package said germinates 5-15 days, sprouted on day 35 😂. Luckily I didn’t go and plant other things and disturbed them 😂
I get hundreds of volunteer tomato plants a year. There is a rock garden next to my patio that gets filled with tomatoes every year. All from one single potted plant I had there like 5 years ago. Same with sunflowers. A couple of winters ago my compost must not have got very hot. Every place I used that compost the next year was flooded with tomatoes.
Honey you could just smash a couple tomatoes on the ground and in 2 weeks you’ll have hundreds of tomato plants
I have a seed starting grow shelf in my basement. Everything I started grew with no problem except 1 type of pepper. None of them sprouted. So I replant seeds 2 weeks later. None sprouted. Replanted a whole bunch in 1 little pot hoping that at least one would sprout. After a month and a half of None sprouting. I put the seed trays outside and a few days later 15 or so sprouted.
Luckily tomatoes are easy to transplant. I’ve even pulled them up by the roots, put them in new soil and they just spring back to life.
About right. I’ve got so many tomato volunteers that i quit trying so hard with tomatoes in general. I’ve got one that’s two years old now. Just keep re planting the stem v
They just needed a buddy lol
Tomatoes are assholes. Luckily they’re really easy to divide out when they do stuff like this.
I’ve done this with catnip. Several of my herb pots are now catnip instead. Cats will be happy ig
Similar thing happened to my peppers this year lol. I tried germinating a couple in March but they didn’t take, so I just thought the seeds were duds and planted some more that grew. Then suddenly 2 weeks ago I woke up and saw two new baby peppers that germinated…I wonder where they came from? 😂
I started tomatoes from seed for the first time this year. All of them sprouted, none of them got any taller than a popsicle stick so I considered them a bust and bought some plants from the store. I removed the seed starts and replaced them with the ones I bought, but swapped the seed starts into the pots the store tomatoes came in. Wouldn’t you know it, the seed starts are doing fantastic now and I had more healthy tomato plants than I knew what to do with. *Then* I found some volunteers sprouting up from a lost tomato from last year, moved those and they’re doing great better than any of the other ones…
Tomatoes are like, guaranteed to be divas who do things on their own time
I’ve never had a year without a random volunteer tomato popping up in a random spot and producing good fruit.
Classic tomato behavior
Tomato seeds have the best long term germination of any of the plants I grow. Never throw away old tomato seeds.
I put down seeds more than a month ago and nada. Got two varieties from Lowe’s on Saturday. Guess what’s popping up now?
I had the same thing happen with some dandelions I’d been growing while craving a spring snack over the winter. Though in my case I think it’s on me for not expecting a dandelion to start growing as soon as I *didn’t* want one there…
Happened to me with Watermelon. I was like WTH is this weed.
I have lettuce growing in all my newly potted plants 😂
Two years ago I had potatoes going in a container. Last year I used the container for green beans. Last month I prepared the container and when I went out to plant bean seedlings I saw two little potatoes starting to sprout. I figured what the hell, potatoes grow down, beans grow up, so now there’s two bean plants nestled in (the very spacious) container with two potatoes. Might as well experiment.
Haha.
I had a weird realization in the past few years on gardening, “letting go” is a powerful thing. This is year bugs are eating away my okra plants. No matter what I do nothing helped. I told myself, it’s ok, next year.
😐
Mine took FOREVER to germinate this year!
Well the good news is they’re robust and enjoy occasional transplant shock so just pull the sucker out carefully and chuck em’ in a new pot.
That’s what always happens. I use the bottoms of 64oz Snapple bottles for seed starting. Whatever seeds don’t start by time all my stuff is in the ground go in the mystery pot. Water and see what we get.
Yeah that sounds about right for a tomato!
Me: meticulously planning the number of tomato seedlings due to limited space.
My tomato seedlings: look, another pot to randomly germinate in! You need 2 dozen more of us, right?
Classic 🤣
A tomato plant will look at a crack in the concrete and go, shit that looks like the perfect home!
