Ty! Yeah, I was shocked to see my bed covered in them! The varieties are/were mostly cherry style indeterminate tomatoes. I have seedlings for this year too, but I was hoping to get *lucky* with these. I know these are from plants that I bought from a local nursery/farm. So would I be better off just pulling them?

The cherries might be OK, I've gotten yellow pear coming back true (I think it's an heirloom), you could keep some if you are so inclined. Sometimes plants that grow in situ are tougher than plants brought in.

Thank you again for your comment/input! I'm debating about it...lol. My husband thinks we should just let nature do its thing and let them weed each other out, and just keep the 'winner' plants, lol. But I'm more concerned about whether they will produce or not. They literally overwintered in my raised beds and I could not believe they came up this way! We had some cold days here this past winter! So, I will mull it over, but maybe keep some and plant my newer seedlings ( as an experiment in the very least). Will let you know of my results! Ty! Take care! Happy growing!

Regardless of whether or not you decide to keep the volunteers and see what they produce, you should weed out the extras now while the plants are still small. You're not going to get some short-term pseudo-Darwinian thing happening where the strongest thrives and the others die. Most likely, the overcrowding will just make them all unhappy and set back their development.

Lol! Thank you gorbelly! I kinda said that to my husband already but he imagines differently, lol. Yeah, I will weed em' out and keep the biggest ones (a few), and just plant my new seedlings, as originally planned. Thanks for your comment/input! :)
