I repotted my Bay Tree last Autumn because it was pot bound, into a much larger pot, with a mix of bought and my own compost. It really took a battering (as lots of others did on here) and looked as though it was dead. Because I thought it might need time to recover this spring, I sowed some dahlia seeds around it, thinking I would have a bit of colour if it didn't make it. It died I'm afraid, but as well as the dahlias springing up, there are 3 very healthy tomato plants (looking much better than my poorly ones in tubs) and 2 huge and I mean huge sunflowers. Nature and the contents of my compost never ceases to amaze me.
but I have the same "problem", I have a huge tomato plant that has sprung up in my compost bin and, as you say, it is healthier than anything I grew from seed much earlier in the year. I have also just noticed some kind of cucurbrit that has also sprung up - ain't nature a wonderful thing 
Thanks for implanting that thought Colin!
