Wild tomatoes

Not ‘wild and crazy’, just growing wild. I did a load of weeding yesterday and the most prolific ‘weeds’ were tomato plants, sneaking in among the strawberries and leeks. I suspect the birds have been spreading the seeds. Its a shame though that it’s too late in the year for it to be worth growing them on, but I doubt any of them have time to fruit now.
Apart from that I’m deadheading like mad, taking off almost every flower head in preparation for going away for a few weeks. Fingers crossed I come back to some flowers rather than loads of dead-heads. That’s if the slugs leave any.

get the same thing in our raised beds, i think the seeds overwinter in the compost heap , and then when we dig this into a bed the seeds germinate , always pulling up rogue tom seedlings.never tried to pot them on though.
