Tomato plant or weed?

10 years ago

How do I know if this is a tomato plant or a weed? It's about 2 feet tall with a strong fuzzy stalk and last year I planted tomatillos and early girls in a raised bed right next to where this is growing. I'm hoping one of my tomato plants transplanted lol..tHanks for your help!

It is not a tomato. Possibly a Sunflower - Helianthus annuus.

Yes - that looks like a Sunflower to me too.

Thank you for responding!! It would make sense that it's a sunflower because I have a bird feeder nearby and these birds eat like pigs lol..thank you again very much =) here's a pic that I got today of a rabbit and a dove bother eating breakfast together from all the seed the birds threw on the ground!
