So this has appeared in my veg bed and I have no idea what it is, can't remember planting anything but looks like potatoes.

    Those are indeed poatoes.  Enjoy!

    Do you put peelings on your compost heap?

    Looks like you've planted them in rows ............. was there a day around Eastertime that seems a bit hazy? ;)

    They look potatoey /tomatoey to me, but would you have planted them in such a shallow container?

    Def not tomato as I've still got these in pots as they are not big enough, hopefully there is enough space for some baby potatoes to develop :)

    Maybe a new flat variety😉

    Maybe earth them up?  Fill that container to the rim ... I would. :)

    If you grew potatoes in that bed last year, these will have grown from the little ones you missed when you harvested them.
