Comment by Kim Romen on November 24, 2014 at 9:07pm: John, i thought u pulled your tomato plants and were going to start new? what time of year do u do that? mine didn't do well over the summer so i had to start over, now. according to the calendar it was time to start them. i'll cover them on the cold nights. amazing what 2 goldfish will do!!!

Comment by John Malone on November 24, 2014 at 8:47pm: Tomatoes, and peppers, don't like frost. At all. Ever. I discovered that the hard way in year on of AP when I lost a dozen bell pepper fruit to the first frost.

This morning I noticed that I had ice on the grass on my front lawn, so today I picked what I expect to be the final tomatoes and peppers for this year.

Still and all, a good harvest. Amazing what just two small goldfish can produce.

Comment by Phil Slaton on November 24, 2014 at 8:25pm: Matter of fact, it looks like bird poop splatter next to, and below, the plant.

Comment by Kim Romen on November 24, 2014 at 7:53pm: looks like a tomato to me and i planted some tomato seeds really early but they aren't much bigger than that. :(

John, r u thinking that's why it won't make it? too small?

Comment by Phil Slaton on November 24, 2014 at 4:39pm: When your media was laying out in the open before it was bagged. A lot of birds flew over it and pooped on the pile. Their poop carries seeds and your plant is the result.

Comment by Scott Bloom on November 24, 2014 at 4:12pm: This is a brand new system, no previous plants. I think I will leave it in just to see what it is, plenty of nitrates to go around with the young plants in the system.

Comment by John Malone on November 24, 2014 at 3:26pm: Looks a bit like a tomato to me. I get a lot of self seeded tomatoes where old fruit has dropped.

If it is a tomato then it's not going to do any good over winter. Yank it out for something else.
