Today I was tending my kitchen compost bin after I had neglected turning it for far too long, and I took a good look at the plants growing "next to" to the bin. Much to my surprise and delight, I discovered some tomato plants growing out of the airvents of my bin! One is a Brandywine, and the two others I'm not sure of but my guess is that they are probably a plum type of tomato. The compost area is a tad shaded so I don't know if I'll ever see any tomatoes from these plants, but they sure are happy and healthy looking. No signs of early blight on these guys, unlike a few of the plants in my tomato patch. I guess it just goes to show the power of compost! Btw, I did a search and couldn't find a similar topic, so I thought I'd start one. If it's been done already, please let me know! |
