Tomatoes Everywhere

I never have to grow tomatoes , my garden is full of volunteer plants. Makes me wonder how they even get there, everyday I have to weed off at least a handful of tomato plants from my other pots.. Yes, you heard me right.. weed them off..
I feel guilty doing this but I have limited space and can't have too many plants. I have around twelve plants at any given time.. Its amazing how well these plants grow and yield. I try to give away the tomatoes that I don't use.. because we have fresh ones all the time.
This one here is a nice juicy sweet variety that I use for salads. Its not very big though. Sometimes the plants break and fall to the ground due to the weight of the fruits.. I stake them and it still happens..
Chilies and eggplants are other plants that just come up on their own. I am grateful for a garden ( or at least a part of it) that grows by itself.

And here I am longing to produce tomatoes I did have them once when a member from a garden forum from UK sent me seeds
Your garden has a green thumb as you say it is your garden that produces these tomatoes

@allknowing aww I wish i could send you some baby plants.. The easiest way to grow tomatoes is take over ripe tomatoes, slice them and place them in a pot with a light covering of spoil.. spray water everyday and you will have a whole bunch of plants in no time.

@sofssu I got my maid to get some rotten tomatoes. They are now being dried in the sun. I will sow them.

In my opinion, actually these plants will not grow by themselves if for no reason,
because these plants can grow only from the seeds of the fruit,
And if we don't feel like planting the tomato tree, actually we don't know it,
unconsciously we have thrown away the tomato seeds, then he will grow up ...

@KOLAMsegaran1 Yeah obviously they grow from seeds, but mine being a container garden on my terrace i don't throw stuff around.. so this is obviously from the farm manure i buy.. I don't have to grow tomatoes from seeds.. That is my point.

Tomatoes are where the local farmers give lots of pesticide...
I love tomatos.
The cherry tomatoes come up wild in the garden , the seeds are in the cow dung that is used for manure.
This is when I had a garden

@responsiveme Yeah you are right about that.. pesticide enriched tomatoes.. Oh yeah cherry tomatoes are a bigger pain.. LOL they are all over the place. another nuisance (I shouldn't say that) is lettuce they sprout everywhere. too much of a good thing.

You are so lucky to have tomatoes, chilies and eggplants in your garden! I would probably puree the tomatoes with garlic and use them as dip. Same goes for the eggplant.

Birds are the one bringing that veggies to your space. They love to eat tomatoes and left the seeds everywhere but atleast you can have tomatoe shake.
