If anyone knows what this is, I'd be really pleased! It started growing in the compost alongside my baby tomatoes..so transplanted and it's now growing rapidly.

thanks all

Could be a sunflower?

Not sure how a sunflower seed got in with tom seeds tho!

Do you put bird feeders out? - my mother has sunflowers springing up all over the garden from the bird seed.

Looks like a sun flower to me as well.

One of my dads friends who was a bit of a joker used to carry a few sunflower and tomato seeds in his pocket and dropped them into pots, tubs and baskets in peoples gardens when he visited. People could not figure out how they ended up with tomato plants in their hanging baskets. It was years before he confessed.

Well, if I was the sort of fella that played tricks on people, that would appeal to me. But I'm not, obviously. :whistle:
