I am in wisconsin and every year I do 'plant' a rotting fruit. This year my Brandywine Cowlicks left out has surpassed those that were started indoors. This is a fluke as we had a very warm spell this spring which had the outdoor seed germinate prior to those sown indoors. I truely thought that the volunteer would perish from the cold. The volunteers have won this year.
Volunteer seed does germinate every year here, however, the plants usually lag behind those that were started inside. I really do not mind this as then I am getting big maters all season long.
