Wow, now that’s a lesson for you. That’s so funny. Definitely amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I resemble that remark…..
I can see that, yep
You’re probably right…..Donald

Nice dog
Last year I planted (seeds) fall tomatoes directly in the garden and it worked out really well but I’m not too sure about planting them in the spring. Cool temps may be an issue……Donald
Way down here in south florida I grew a glades native american species and it grew tomatoes first and keept growing and growing for two years until I cut it in. Gonna try that iroquois squash this fall. It’s a lost indian vegatable rediscovered.
I will add my story. I purchased some cherry tomatoes at the super market 2011 for consumption, and some Roma also. That winter I had some trouble with roots in my sewer line which I handled. There was some septic contents that ended up in the area where I had to dig. Needless to say I did not have "driveway tomatoes" I had hydroponic "septic" tomatoes!! I transplanted those to my garden and they volunteer a HUGE return every year. I have found a few gardeners in my area that plant tomato seeds directly a week before last frost date. I enjoy your videos! Jocks Garden 6 21 2014
Been wanting to try Azomite, I’d like to find some locally to avoid paying so much for shipping…..Donald
Well not all things I try work out. : ) …..Donald
Yep, I imagine… In the Mittlieder method use lime, Epson salt and Borax for pre-planting. Gypsum is in our soil everywhere but Lime isn’t which make the crop grow better with that in it.
You know what? I’m already giggling and I’m only at 13 seconds.
I should. : ) …..Donald
curious if they were the same variety because there is so much difference in growth habit. Also, your not seeing the root structure and the plant with the best root structure will often win in the long run.
: ) ……Donald
Its probably due to a higher ratioconcentration of fertilizer & or better PH levels from the lime stone… Thanks for all the good info Donald
Your great
I think I am gonna adopt your strategy! Sometimes too much TLC & fussing is a waste of time. Maybe I should drop a couple of seeds into the crack of my sidewalk!
Glad you enjoyed and you’re welcome……Donald
Nature has the greenest thumb of all…
I live in Summerville Sc. Work for local municipality in the Storm Water department. We install or repair drainage systems. One winter as we were installing a walk bridge over a large canal I notice two Giant Broad leaf Mustard green plants growing,or should I say flourishing, on the limestone rd. we travel in and out on. Think I’m going to use just a bit as fertilizer next time I plant greens.
@TheRealTrojanGoat … Guess I need to move my garden to the drive way. : ) …….Donald
Some things I can grow, some things not so much. I work hard on my tomatoes and they tend to look like yours (in the garden). One day I’ll figure out how to grow them like you do accidentally . I think next year I’m going to plant directly in the garden and use a plastic jug as a mini greenhouse for each plant. I enjoy your videos very much. I read today that the average American watches tv 4 hours per day and the average Russian works in the garden 2 1/2 hours a day. Interesting.
Just goes to show how nature can handle itself.
: ) ……Donald
The stone may let the plant breathe more…. food for thought….
That’s like the volunteers that pop up around the compost bin…another great place to grow!!
As gardeners we get so worried about planting seeds just right then here goes one that falls on the ground, grows and looks better than the ones we planted……Donald
Do you use any rock dust in your garden area? If not, you may have depleted some minerals (which ARE in your limestone still). Have a look at a product called Azomite.
I think I see where this is going ….
I had a similar thing happen in my backyard … here I was planting lots of tomato plants in containers all with amended potting soil, plenty of light and food … and I must have dropped or spit out of thrown away some tomato seed into the side of my garded next to a north south fence. That plant sprouted up like crazy right next to where I planted an orange tree … and before long it was all over that orange tree, huge.
So, they are certainly the same variety? or did you use several types of seeds that day?
RIP my friend
All I can say is heat and sunshine…..Donald
I’ve noticed when a volunteer comes up it does pretty well on its own. Riding around through the garden throwing a hand full of seeds may be the way to go. : ) ……Donald
LOL , keep planting them there from now on..:))
My volunteers always grow better than the one’s that I’ve tried to take such good care of lol.
haha! This made me laugh! your videos are amazing! Thanks for sharing and making me laugh.
hi donald…i’m growing tomatoes in my cold frame i am growing beef and plum it is minus 8c out side (17f) (well it is the uk after all) what can i do to help them to grow in so cold temp??? i love ur vids 🙂
You are adorable! 🙂 Love your videos!
I’m pretty sure (but not 100%) that they were the same variety……Donald
What a great video! I’m chuckling too… 🙂
Realize this is an older video but, I had a similar situation last year 2013. I grew Tiny Tim from seed. The plant must have drop a Tomato on the ground. Soon enough I had a plant growing. I also thought it was weed at first. It was unusual enough so I left it till I was sure. It grew and grew and it produced the biggest Cherry tomatoes I ever saw. I think mine reverted to one of it’s parents since it’s a hybrid. I never did get to eat the Tomatoes cause the frost killed it and I did not pick the green tomatoes till it was too late. I also have a Tomato plant which was given to me on October 2013, it was suppose to be a Pepper plant. It’s flowering and it has a few Tomatoes. Since it’s still too cold at night I have to protected it. I’m enjoy it, gave me something to take care for during the Winter. It’s on the third pot now. Thank you for sharing, it was a fun video to watch.
Limestone is Calcium Carbonate. Tomatoes LOVE calcium… That is the reason they grew so well in the limestone.
: ) …..Donald
Donald has such a green thumb he can grow plants anywhere.
: ) …….Donald
That’s correct…..Donald
This guy is prescous!
A few weeks ago we planted tomato seeds directly in the garden. Most are up and growing…..Donald
