| Hi,
So this is our first year gardening and we put together several above-ground containers. We bought everything as small plants, so we didn't plant anything from seed. In our strawberry box, we noticed something new a while ago and it looked a lot like a tomato plant. Though I know it is unwise, I decided to let it grow because I am just so curious. Now we have the tomatoes growing in the below picture. I am wondering if you would be so kind as to suggest what these might be. I have no clue what they are - or even how they ended up in my strawberries! Thank you so much for all your help!! |

| Here is another photo of some bigger ones - they are over 2 inches long... |

| They appear to be the general shape of a roma type tomato but it's hard to know the specific variety even with more pictures including fully ripe ones. |

| To me they look like the Amish Paste tomatoes that I grew this year. My Amish Paste tomatoes had that little "bump" on the end and they got huge. |

| There are lots of varieties that look like that at the green stage, so no way to ID it, but I bet what you have is a seed that was dropped there by a bird b'c that does happen, especially since you didn't plant it yourself. ( smile) I don't know what you used in your strawberry box as a growing medium, but it too could have had some tomato seeds in it depending on what you used. But my vote goes to bird transmission.
