It's always amazing where tomato seedlings pop up. We've found them all over our yard, but this has to be the oddest location yet.

I've definitely had some strange rogue plants before and sometimes I'll leave them in if it won't hurt anything. But I'd rip that one out if I were you, you don't want the roots weaving their way into foundation cracks. Rip it out and seal the crack up!

It's a tomato, I doubt it has very strong roots. But yup, it's not there anymore :(

It opens the door for more things though, and keeps moisture along the side of the house.

My tomatoes: I don't have enough room in the pot. I'll just die.

I've successfully grown tomatoes in a pot, granted it was a decent sized pot (5+ gallon). They took a massive quantity of water daily and creative trellising, but it worked out.

Now squash. Squash is my struggle, but this year appears to be doing better.
