I've had all kinds of volunteers from a cold compost pile.  Tomatoes, 
peppers, tomatillos(all the time) onions, garlic, potatoes, and even a 
broccoli plant (from thinning).  Of course, all my kitchen waste is 
composted, so hopefully one day I will find a coffee tree or a lemon 
tree. <vbg>
It probably won't grow true to type, but there is nothing wrong with 
trying it out and seeing what happens.
