Interesting volunteer pear tomato
Rare to get any volunteer tomato in the NEast. Especially in a deck container that always has herbs...basil, dill, celery, chives, thyme, etc. It was clearly a tomato early Spring so I let it go and grow. Disappointing that it looked like a pear at first. A deck container 15ft above the ground so does get very cold temps. It is a fat pear, and the ripening color is off. Molten confused I usually attribute to bad growing conditions. Yet all others, dwarf project, micros, show no signs of distress. Interesting what it might be. Or where it came from. Nice big plant I've had to tie up on the deck railing going both directions like trellising apples. Gardening/growing is never not interesting. |
