Tomatoes

This is one of our front flower pots. Notice anything unusual?
Like a TOMATO growing in it?Or our front flowerbed:which has no less than FOUR tomato plants coming up.

And remember when I said we were afraid the horse manure was a bit too hot for tomatoes and all the work we did to make sure we had a large amount of compost around them?
This tomato is coming up right in the middle of a big pile of manure in part of a bed we haven't worked up yet. And all this about 2 weeks after EIGHT tomato plants we bought from the nursery died.

How is this possible? Are they just really perverse plants?

We are having sunflowers coming up all over the place after growing some in one little piece of garden last year. At least they are cheerful. We did get a tomato plant. Since none of ours last year made any fruit, I guess some seeds didn't compost and are coming up from that.
