I just found out that mine is Coleus. Genus of Cuban oregano and a ton of other cool plants like the Hausa potato and Livingstone potato. Apart of the family Lamiaceae, which is the same family as mint and deadnettles.

Mine is the tomato family- solanaceae? They're so easy to grow where I live, they even volunteer in fallow ground. They seem resistant to most pests in zone 6b. Hardy and drought resistant.

Solid choice for sure. I love tomatoes so much, and they're my favorite fruit even though I suck at growing them
