Does anybody know what this is? It is invading my tomato plant and I'm sure I haven't planted it!

Yep it's a spud - a new take on companion planting :)

Probably best to dig your fingers into the compost and try to get the tuber out. It is closely related to the tomato and could make disease, including blight, more likely.

Thanks. thought it could be but I haven't planted any potatoes! How strange, there was another one in my kale patch! Pulled it out now, watching carefully for any other phantom tat's!
