A quick update because I realize that it's been a while:
The Lolipop tomato has little tomatoes and is blooming. Some of the other tomatoes are also blooming, but I can't remember which ones! I'll be able to tell once they start to ripen.
My mom hooked us up with a lot of zucchini, cucumbers, and tomatoes. (Hi, Mom!) She also gave me two cucumber plants and two tomato plants. One tomato is dwelling happily in a bucket on the front porch, the other is in the ground with the other tomatoes. One of the cucumbers didn't make it. :(
I have at least one watermelon in the works. It's about the size of a tennis ball.
Now, about the volunteers ...
I had to do an intervention on the front of my house. Muscadine vines were literally curling around the front door. While I was out there making the front yard less wild, I yanked some weeds out of the herb bed. I kept thinking that I smelled tulsi. I smelled a handful of the weeds I was holding, then compared one to the one tulsi plant I have this year. Apparently last year's glorious hedge of tulsi reseeded itself. The little dudes are only about three inches tall. Unfortunately they're right at the front edge of the bed, so they have to be moved. While mowing grass a few days ago I thought I kept smelling tulsi, now I'm certain that I did. It's probably growing in my front yard.
While looking around, I also found a volunteer dill plant. Yay! I love dill! And I seem to have very little luck growing it.
