Had a surprise in my compost pile last Tuesday

I turned my bin at 5pm and found tomato plants sprouting from seeds I tossed in 3 weeks ago. They grew like crazy in the dark, warm conditions and now I have to decide if I dig them out or let them ride. Anyone else deal with rogue volunteers taking over their compost?

Got tomatoes popping up in my bin too, it's wild how fast they grow.

My buddy Mark had 47 tomato plants take over his bin last summer.
