Last year I let my chickens roam free on my lawn. They clucked picked pecked plucked all sorts of grasses. One day I looked and there were seven tomato plants growing in my lawn. The chickens had weeded around these plants exposing them. I’m not sure why they didn’t pick on them, maybe because they smell different? I tended to those lawn tomatoes till TS Irene stopped by.
Those tomatoes sure were a conversation piece. Who in their right mind would plant stuff in the middle of their lawn? A chaotic owner? LOL
I’m just curious how those tomato plants seeded themselves there.
Most likely a critter ate a tomato then pooped the seeds in your yard.

Your chickens might have reasoned if they picked your tomatoes, that would hasten their trip to the stew pot.
The re-planters here are the squirrels. They keep busy planting pecans in the garden so I have to keep busy pulling up the new sprouts.
Got my composter free from the extension office. I think A&M had some sort of program going at the time. All it is is a foldable four square section of coated fencing with a tube of fencing for the middle. Have to turn it with a hoe or something. It’d be easy enough to make one or just have a pile of compost.
