Plants I have in the laundry room may be subjected to exhaust from the clothes dryer. I have the option of exhausting outdoors,or this time of year into the room and rest of the house. So plants may see short bursts of tropical weather which may also help previous bean problems.

6oz sundried type tomato started from store bought organic sundried tomatoes.
They took 1 month to germinate.
Most of the plants had 2oz 2 chamber roma type tomatoes but a couple of the plants
had bigger rounder type.
Determinate plants RL so you would need a garden full of plants to be worthwhile.
Most plants only had about 6 tomatoes.
They taste bland but thick walled and would be ideal for stuffing and baking.
I had to pick them at 1st blush do to the weather and bird attacks.

It's always fun to experiment with sprouting seeds from things you buy. I’ve done something similar with basil and even chili seeds, they grew surprisingly well. For those interested in growing their own food from store-bought produce, this video has some great tips on starting seeds https://youtu.be/IX3PxMbHUyM?si=7pVst4mJqWf_hGHn. It’s amazing how many plants you can grow from kitchen leftovers.
