Would anyone know what this is?


Would anyone know what this is? It’s taken over my little veggie patch over the last month or so.

    An absolute metric ton of tomato plants 😮

    Could well be tomatoes, as a few other people have commented.

    This “spontaneous tomato patch” phenomena can happen if you put a bunch of old tomatoes in your compost, which, depending on where and when you apply your compost, can result in a large number of evenly distributed tomato seeds in the perfect germination medium.

    To confirm, try pinching the leaves or stem and giving them a smell – tomato plants have a very distinctive aroma, especially when squashed or bruised.
