Volunteer cherry tomato plants. Planted on the north-facing balcony.

Dozens of seeds sprouted. We gave most of the seedlings away.

We also had a few volunteers in early June, which have been productive despite being kept in small pots.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
