I had a dead patch of garden I recently mulched along with the more active parts of my garden. I had recently pulled out a humungo-squash and was preparing to use this as a spot to dig in some compost to get soil ready for winter plants. A few weeks later I went outside to dig some kitchen scraps in and I found a surprise. Mystery Babies! They are getting bigger. they have even developed a second set of leaves~ TRUE LEAVES! That means they are true plants ! Now what are they? Time to do some research
The leaves are smooth and thin. The seedlings look like tomatoes but the true leaves look too smooth at this point. Also check out that stem...red.
Oh wait, Tomatillo's have red stems-I put some tomatillos somewhere in this garden in June, (two months is average germination time right?)

Red stems... the "true leaves" of this tomato plant seem more pokie than what I've got going on, but there certainly are a lot of tomato varieties out there!
So lets follow along and see what happens as they get bigger, who knows maybe I am totally wrong and they will turn into this:
