Re: Tomatoe "volunteers"

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Cathleen - last year we had lots of volunteer tomato plants in the "Hunger
Garden" that is planted behind our Church.  We left those alone that were
in an ok place and they produced abundantly and true to the parent plant.
I believe they sprouted from seed left to rot from the previous year's
crop.  I would see no reason why you could not move them.  Just do it late
in the day or on an overcast day to make the move less stressful.  Deany,
zone 4/WI
