I was looking at the peas last night after transplanting the sweet potato slips, and I realized that a tomato plant was growing in between all of the pea vines. It was long and lanky (most likely because it was shaded by the peas), but it was about 1 foot high and looked healthy. I have no idea what variety it is, but my guess is that the seed was left over from one of the dozens of tomatoes that the squirrels half ate and then left on the ground.
So I transplanted it to a pot, put it down really deep, and covered it with a bunch of garden soil (bagged), soil from our garden, and doubled that with leafgro (compost). A nice little unexpected experiment. It looks like a better boy, but I'm not sure.
