Cornstalk Tomato

[carolyn137]

Freda was here this AM propping up lilies that the rain bashed down, bringing in some fresh flowers for me and swearing at the deer who are eating the rose blossoms but then came in and told me something I didn't expect.

She said that there was a nice cornstalk growing in one of the Gro-bags right along with the tomato.

Great said I, let it go and we'll see if it's cow corn, which it probably is, or whatever. And we'll see if any more cornstalks appear.

This year all my tomato plants and other veggies are being grown in 12 gal grow bags and various sized containers.

So here's the question.

Everything was filled with new mix, one bag of Pro-Mix Professional soiless mix to one bag of commercial composted cow manure with humus.

There's not a chance that there would be cornseed in the Pro=Mix and if the cow manure was composted any viable corn seeds should also have been composted.

So is it a bird donation? No way to know, but doubtful this time of year even though I live in dairy country, and I'm wondering if any of you have had anything interesting show up when using a mix such as was used for everything I'm growing this year, and everything looks wonderful......to date.
