But here's the thing. Tomato plants aren't normally volunteers, or perennials for that matter. You plant one where you want it...it grows for a season...end of story. This one is growing out of a crack in the pavement. See?

So, here's what must have happened....Someone tossed a tomato in the dumpster, but missed. A random seed from the squashed tomato happened to end up in a bit of dirt at the intersection of the building and the sidewalk and the parking lot. And then, it got enough sun and water to survive and thrive.

It's even producing fruit! Don't you just adore nature?

I had a corn plant growing in the crack in my driveway this summer. It was pretty funny. Only here in Indiana! :)
You just never know! Grow where you are planted...isn't that the saying!
beauty from trash...isn't that our life?
great photo/story!
This can mean only one thing. It's a REAL tomato plant! Not a hybridized Franken-plant that's been genetically sterilized to ensure that you buy your seeds from the Soylent Green Corp. Pick a couple of the tomatoes and harvest the seeds. Save some for me! Grosses bises
Ah, mother nature shows us who is really in charge once again!
I am always amazed when I see a beautiful rose growing out in some vacant lot. No one deadheading it or fertilizing it or spraying it or even watering it. And it thrives. Unlike those spoiled divas in my rose garden!
What a sweet story. The resilience of Mother Nature is amazing!
I love the "volunteers". But a tomato?? Unreal!! GO Mother Nature!!
I remember dumping garbage waste on my neighbor's land (I had permission) and the year after he had a couple of wild tomato plants at the very same spot.
Nature has a special way of taking care of herself.
