I’m hoping you guys can help me out with this one. We have a garden that has had a couple of these little guys popping up all over (probably about 10-12 of them so far). We’ve used mushroom compost last year and, in the winter, we took half of the compost and put it in our bin and the other half just let sit until this spring. When planting our veggies we used our new compost (made from extra soil and food scraps throughout the winter). We’ve noticed a couple of plants popping up which were correctly identified as pumpkins from one we composted after Halloween (oops!). We had some tomato’s rot when we had an early freeze so we just threw them into the compost, but I didn’t think they’d grow?
All that background to say, does this look like a tomato plant? If not, is it a weed that should be pulled? It seems to have the texture and smell of our other tomato plants and after the pumpkins sprouted up I’m cautious to pull anything that doesn’t look like an obvious weed.
