This is companion planting of the strangest kind. I reckon a bird or FFS (fast furry slug or squirrel) dropped seeds in the pot. I was going to transplant the tomato but then though the better of it - best to not disturb Oreo's roots. Plus, I can justify it by tomatoes being nitrogen hogs and it keeps nutrients down in the mix right? Right?? sure... The Oreo pitchers were late but developed nice color and petterns: Very cool pitchers, I like OSM :-) Snacks are barely visible (new to me, old hat to y'all). These things have been gorging on wasps the last few weeks: I thought these are cherries but now thinking they may be plums. Might not be time enough for them to get ripe this season. I might have enough for a green tomato salsa?

This is worth keeping an eye on... Keep us updated with this experiment!

I'm amazed that tomatoes would fruit in such nutrient poor acidic soil.

This is worth keeping an eye on... Keep us updated with this experiment! Will do! I'm amazed that tomatoes would fruit in such nutrient poor acidic soil. Me too - and it isn't a large pot either. I remember reading that tomatoes like acidic soil so the peat and lots of direct sun probably help it compensate. I'm very curious how those fruit will taste.

Is that one of the plants from me? Cause if so that may have been my fault since I had my hybrids next so some tomatoes the year before. Although I did send them bare root but stranger things have happened.
Now if only I could explain the two Mimosa prudicas poping up in my avacado's pot and in a pot at my old work...

Aye 'tis Luc!Now I know who to blame. That's OSM x 'Wrigleyana giant'. I spent a few hours with a bottle of single malt trying to decide which is my favorite - S. purp ssp venosa x OSM by a nose! OSM x 'Chelsonii' is a very close second - it has stunning scarlet splotches and very subtle veining.
