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.
Plants would remove excess moisture, and yeah, no their roots aren’t a danger or anything. Who doesn’t have plants alongside their house? If a root gets into a crack, you already have a problem and water would already be coming in.
