Hi,
Three of these plants sprang up among my veggies and grew about a foot a day! I don't remember planting them, and they look like weeds to me. Any ideas?

It looks like pigweed. Amaranth family.

Don't recognise this at all, but the only thing I will say is that as it is so big and IF you dont want it, take it out from the Tomatoes as this will be starving the tomatoes of moisture in your soil, IF it is a weed and as you say it is a large plant, then it probably has a large root that needs a lot of moisture to grow at the rate you have said, so watch it dont starve the Tomatoes. good luck.
