I was about to pull it out but thought it looked like a tomato so I left it. I was so busy chasing that mangy, rat-faced, no-good, low-life, beady-eyed, scum-sucking, fruit-stealing squirrel off my peach tree, I didn&#8217;t notice that it was growing. The next time I looked, I had a tomato plant. It was about two feet high with little flowers so I left it there. Today, it&#8217;s out of control! I don&#8217;t know what happened but all of a sudden, it&#8217;s HUGE, and loaded with cherry tomatoes. And heavy. I&#8217;m constantly tying it up because it keeps growing. Yesterday, I propped it up with some fencing I had and it&#8217;s still falling over. I didn&#8217;t plant it. I didn&#8217;t feed it. I didn&#8217;t want it. There are rose bushes under there&#8230; dying. Denis thinks that when that mangy, rat-faced, no-good, low-life, beady-eyed, scum-sucking, fruit-stealing squirrel ate my potted cherry tomatoes last year, he was hiding out between the roses and left a seed in the ground. OMG, maybe he pooped it into the ground! Either way, he&#8217;s a pig.\u00a0The tomatoes are starting to ripen but they&#8217;re inside the plant and I can&#8217;t get there. It&#8217;s <strong>14 <\/strong>feet long and <strong>8<\/strong> feet deep!\u00a0I&#8217;m not sticking my hand in there. Don&#8217;t snakes eat tomatoes? Something was moving in there yesterday and it had a tail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, I noticed a plant sprouting in my garden right between two roses.
