A few months ago, I noticed these weed looking plants growing amongst the roses in my garden, and I asked Andrew (my gardener) to take them out when he came to work one Saturday. He took one look at them and told me they weren’t weeds they were baby tomato plants!! Very weird that they grew there, but we’d had a blocked sewage pipe a few months previously and the sewage pipe runs under my rose bushes – that’s the only way the seeds could have got there.
We moved them to my herb garden, and they have flourished. The fruit has just started ripening, and rosa tomatoes are Connor’s favourite treat so he runs to the patch often to see how many he can pick. This evening there were quite a few.

mmmm, interesting – that might be something worth planting we love them
how interesting. I love that Conner likes them. that is great. love the pic!
Lovely pic! Kayli would rather eat rosa tomatoes than sweets, she also loves it!
how funny, seeing that i just had a midnite snack of turkey and tomato wedges with salt and pepper! gotta tell you, there’s nothing better than vine-ripe tomatoes!
Yummy! Can’t wait to get a herb and veggie garden started in the spring! I so miss tomatoes straight off the vine!
He must be thrilled!!!
YUMMY! Btw, tomatoes are good for prostrates, so encourage the enjoyment of them!
I like the contrast of the red and blue in that photo.
Every so often we have a few of these popping up in the garden. Someone told me it is seeds distributed by birds form someones garden near. Does that possibly make sense?
How nice and they do look yummy!!!
