Here’s what that weed I allowed to live looks like these days:
It doesn’t…quite…smell like a tomato plant. Unless I’m prejudiced, which I might be. But it smells like something. It’s in the driveway bed, plenty of sun, no water other than what the sky has dropped on it except for when I planted it. There’s a Taxi tomato caticorner to it, and you can see one of the branches for comparison.
It looks like a tomato. And it has flowers like a tomato. For a while I was thinking maybe it was sterile, but there are a couple of slender blossoms just appearing now, so no. I’ll have to wait for fruit for a better identification, though.
