Mmmmm. Sounds good right?

This is just the funniest thing I've dealt with living in the country so far.

Last month we had a sewage leak, which was resolved ASAP.

Today, I noticed a full grown tomato plant in the spot that the sewage had leaked..

Thing is.. we never planted any tomato seeds!

    You didn't need to plant the seed, it probably came from the sewage. Not sure I would use any of the fruit as that is how ecoli is spread through tomatoes and lettuce. Just be careful!

      The seeds of many kinds of fruits you probably enjoy every day are spread in this way. The secret about how to deal with it is quite revolutionary: wash it before eating it. Amazing, I know.

        I'd be careful of eating the fruit. With an overdose of shite as fertiliser you may have a hybrid on your hands there . . . .

          Half to laugh at this one - before commercial fancy fertilizers were used, manure was the main fertilizer used on crops. Poo is poo.

          Oh no, you blinked when that picture was taken.

    Everyone here says fruit.

    I'm going to joking say it's a vegetable duuuur.



    Funny how that turned into such an argument in school.

    Wash it off - if you are worried about bacteria have a little piece of cheese with it. The calcium is hard to digest and will make you produce more stomach acid - which kills bacteria.

    Kay - yep. Natural fertilizer. If you go to Germany, the smell of farmland in the spring is just nauseating. But their organic produce is magnificent later.
