A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2003 found tomato seedling growing

ok was cleaning leafs off tarp over pool.found a tomato plant growing(I like to float in pool eating tomatos sprinkled with ranch powder your suppose to use to make dip with) i guess a seed landed on ground and it grew.its about 6 inches tall.whatcha think about growing it indoors for our brief winter in a container?some days durring winter we actually get up in the 60s as a average.If i set in front of window in livingroom can give it indoor sun for 3 hours in morning and can move to bathroom(till add other 2 rooms on then will be no window there) for full sun rest of day till about 3ish
and is no telling what KIND it is cause I get from store and that farmer sitting on side of road some days.he has good water melons though best ever ate

Hey njoynit,
How long are your winters?
I'd say try it, can't hurt....
They tomato plant sends roots out of
the stem, so, just for sh*ts and giggles,
repot, once a month to just a little bit
larger pot, place it in a little deeper each time, and, if you have winter 3 or 4 months,
I would think that would give it time to just
grow enough, and deep enough to get a huge root system on it.. to plant it out come your spring.
Can't hurt.
Let us know if it works????
