Holy volunteer tomatoes!
Seriously...HOLY CRAP this is a ton of volunteer tomatoes. Last years I have thrown oodles of spoiled tomatoes to the birds which they picked through, but the seeds remained. Follow the seeds remaining with my dumping more than a ton of spent brewing grain over and around the yard, covering the seeds in a thick layer of nutrition. The large amount of rain combined with the yard going feral this year meant these all had ample time and nutrients to get nice sized.
Now I have to figure out watering and some form of support for them. Maybe just leaving the lambs quarters to act as a scaffold for them will work best since pulling them will disturb the shallow roots of the tomatoes thus making them fall over. Water is going to probably have to be overhead for the area I need to cover.
I am scratching my head trying to come up with somewhere to relocate some to. This may be the best spot for them.

What a cool oops! That happens to me with potatoes, I didn’t think they would take with me being in Alaska but they grew.
Do you have sign of any maters yet?
There are flowers popping on a bunch of the 12 to 16 inch tall plants. I am still astounded by the sheer numbers I am looking at.
That's a crazy amount of tomato plants, all packed together...
I can't even count how many. i am just guessing but they are so dense I am probably super sand bagging it at a couple hundred.
