Myabe this is normal, but I've never had volunteer tomatoes from

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.
