It's always a nice suprise! Last year I had a tomato jungle with 3 different types of tomatoes growing in an area. At the moment I have sunflowers popping everywhere because of the blackbirds steeling seeds and flying off with them 😂
Love this take on volunteer plants! Gardening feels like a dance with nature, and those surprise sprouts from compost are the best partners. Letting them grow if they’re not in the way, it’s cool to see bonus tomatoes or sunflowers pop up. Your wild corner idea is genius, I might steal that for my own plot. Thanks for the tip on keeping watch after burying compost, I’ll be ready for the next mystery guest. Fun read, totally agree it’s about collaborating, not just controlling!
The volunteer lettuce always does better than anything I grew myself. And there are always volunteer tomatoes. I like the surprise of finding out which variety showed up. Great post!

Great post! Love the idea of collaboration rather than control 💚
