Volunteer plants?

This year we used the compost soil that we collected all year last year. We would throw in old veggies, organic matter, and soil, then churn up the mix every so often.
After planting a bunch of our tomato plants in the compost soil, we have ended up with hundreds of "unknown babies".
we are assuming most are tomato plants of some sort, with a few gourds and squash thrown in there too.
We have transplanted a good many of them into their own 4 packs.
Has anyone else ended up with this?
would any one be interested in these plants for your gardens? the mystery would be fun in my opinion.
Has anyone has success with these volunteer plants producing well?
thoughts?

  1. I always plant my seeds in the "mystery way" I don't mark the planters at all because I like to be surprised! I would totally buy a mystery plant.

  3. Tip for Herbs --- using an icecube tray snip off the herbs and place in each cube. Fill with water and freeze. Each cube is approx 2Tbsp. Many uses. I will thaw in microwave and then pour over just cooked vegetables. Taste as if just snipped.
