I like your dog. He was more thirsty that those plants. Reminded me of my German Sheppard.

About you question:
I would look at it this way. Say they have a DTM of 75 days. Then you should expect some ripe fruit roughly in September.
Today I just pulled several of them but mine were much smaller.

But if you have space, it should be fun to experiment.

thanks for your reply

I never really can figure out the DTM thing as opposed to when the plant actually started to grow - when it comes to volunteer or seed starts vs market bought. even after transplant they seem to be in a holding pattern until they decide "game on" and grow and some click sooner than others.

I pulled my last harvest around oct 20 last year so hopefully I will get something out of them - I just want to know what they are - there are at least four varieties of volunteers that came up. I don't know if they are from my last years plants or from the foreign compost I used in my potting mix or some of both. The ones I did not move are quite a bit ahead of the transplants.

I have always had a few volunteers but this year was crazy - they popped up everywhere.

they are just and experiment I am putting the pots out in front of the house - curious to see how they fare out there.

The dog is my watering buddy - cant do anything with water without him on it - he is obsessed - kindler and gentler with the watering can than the hose which he attacks.
