We had an open thread for mystery tomatoes but I couldn't find it when I performed a search.

I have some new ones which should be interesting to watch.

I turned my compost pile over for the first time in a couple of years. It probably has five years of assorted tomato seed in it from cleaning my garden each fall. Yep, I have mystery tomato plants popping up all over my compost pile. Some are RL and some are PL, but I have no idea which varieties they are. They are beautiful, healthy plants which I will allow to grow and produce where they germinated. I will simply water the compost pile occasionally. I hope the pile doesn't produce excessive heat which will kill the plants. I really like the fact that all of the mystery plants have their tap roots intact meaning they can extend really deep into the compost for moisture and nutrients. It should be interesting to see what results.
