Ripening Wild Tomatoes from Yards - Gardening and Hobby 34

Saturday, May 6, 2023

We talked about volunteer (rough) plants in the backyards during warmer seasons. In our case, we have an unexpected watermelon plant which produced sweet fruit.

Recently, we have other volunteer plants, tomatoes. We believe “certain birds donated several plants this year from stealing tomatoes from our backyard garden last year or somewhere else recently.”


Love when that happens repeatedly. Is this exciting or what? We have about three tomato plants that are volunteers this year so far.

Based on internet searching, we may find there are plenty species of birds consume tomatoes.

We have noticed some of these birds visiting our yard. Just few examples are Rose-breasted grosbeck, Bluebird, Cardinal, Mockingbird and Robin.

  10. I always appreciate it when we see a new plant or tree in the yard courtesy of the wildlife. We always had a big garden but now only some tomato plants. Nothing like fresh tomatoes from the garden.

  12. Tomatoes are my favorite too. I used to grow them in the backyard until the soil quality was not right anymore.
