Didya compost any of last season's tomatoes? Sure looks like a tomato plant
to me, allbeit a rather sickly one. Have no clue what the other is, although
it looks a little tree-like, perhaps a walnut or hickory, pecan or other
Carya species?

I have a compost going in my backyard, where I seem to have plants
spontaneously growing.

I am an amateur at composting, but I am doing what I've read.
I do put water on it, turn it with a hoe, and on cold
days I could definitely see steam rising from it.

What seems out of the ordinary is a pretty lively plant, maybe a weed,
growing from inside the compost. This thing is huge!!

Rather than trying to post any photos on this group,
I went ahead and made a little website with photos of the mystery plant.

If you think you can help me identify it, please check out this URL:

Please let me know what you think.
