Weed Weed Tomato?

It's amazing what can pop up in your garden when you least expect it.  Tucked between my Westerland rose, a lost liatris, and a vigorous clump of verbena I found a tomato plant. I'm serious! Bent over pulling grass and invading trumpet creeper shoots, I suddenly  had this deep and profound thought. It went something like this, "Hey, that looks like a tomato." However, not having bought a tomato plant or even any seeds, I yanked it from the soil and threw it unceremoniously into the grass with the rest of the weeds.

At that point, my Holy Sh*t! alarm went off, so I grabbed the plant and took another look. It's a tomato plant probably from a tomato that was fed to the worms that created the compost that is currently fertilizing my Westerland rose. In their coffee grind fueled sex-sleep-eat-poop existence, they forgot to eat a tomato seed and my mystery tomato was born.

Phase One: Complete denial that there's a tomato growing next to my rose. I took this picture after I had pulled up the tomato plant, which explains why you can't see it. It's not there.

Phase Two: Stick the tomato next to the carrots and thin out the carrots while keeping an eye on the tomato to see if it morphs into anything else, like an eggplant, or a beaver.

Phase Three: Buy a pot, more soil, and transplant tomato. Wait for actual tomatoes to appear....
