glad to see my fellow humans have a voice here that think that making the earth make me food is freaking incredible.
i grew indoor potatoes, got 3 small ones in 3 months. juiciest potatoes i ever had!
I tried home grown runner beans. They're lovely.
once you start composting youll end up having free tomatos pop up wherever you use it. you just gotta make sure the deer dont eat them.

I just got out of a water conference. The big takeaway was for me was that where sewer spills happened, tomatoes grow later.
It's not too surprising. Tomatoes are usually eaten uncooked, so the seeds are almost always viable when they hit the sewer system. Add to that tomatoes are tropical, so when a seed hits the soil it's gonna start growing.

Tomatoes are too fickle as far as I'm concerned. I grow all kinds of stuff, but never have luck with tomatoes. The flowers don't pollinate without vibration, they need temperatures in a tight range to fruit, basically every pest on earth destroys them, just not worth it to me anymore. Which is a shame because I love them, but I'm basically over growing tomatoes.

If you're concerned a out time either get faster growing species or plant a larger amount and properly store them until needed
