 Ginda,

 I always have tomatoes growing all over the place. The seeds seem to 
survive my composting without any problems so wherever I spread my 
compost I inevitably end up with tomato plants. I just let them be most 
of the time, and when I find a few tomatoes (they tend to be cherry 
tomatoes), I think of it as a little gift. After all, it's a harvest 
with zero effort and there's not many of those in the garden!
