I'm pretty sure this is a tomato that escaped confinement from last year! Guess the tomatoes don't need me to help them, I should just scatter their seeds and let them do their own thing lol!

I am a human, not a bot, that is a tomAHto plant. You should be able to identify the plant by simply touching and smelling the leaves.

    If it grows tiny black/purple tomatoes, don’t eat them.

    It probably is! Woo! I'm going to let him grow and see if he bears fruit!

    yeah, off-hand it does look like a tomato to me too; is it growing in an old compost pile or place where seeds are discarded?

    I usually find cherry tomatoes are my most common volunteers, they are almost like weeds sometimes.

    No, this one is in the front yard and not particularly near where the heap was. So I was surprised he got up there! But not too surprised.
