WTF is this growing in my patch?

[Dog]

Good morning.

 

I have recently started growing my own vegetables and at the moment I have carrots, cabbage, leeks, courgette, purple sprouting & cauli growing showing great results. But then this plant came along, I think there is two of them, could they be aubergine by any chance as I'm sure I stuck some in.....

 

Really confused on this one, so hopefully someone one here can help?

Anyone got green fingers?

[ericofarabia]

Horse Chestnut? *****ly Pear?

 

But seriously how about this though?

Is that the real Minty I wonder?

 

PS I don't have Green Fingers but do have an orange knob - must cut down on the Cheesy Wotsits whilst watching Porn !!!

He was probably hoping it was weed!!

Looks like a Datura to me. You need to get rid before those seed pods open or you'll get loads more next year.

Pineapple express, you can smoke dat sheeet

[swannymere]

It's called a Datura Stramonium (Thorn Apple) and it's poisonous to eat to human's and animals, you can use parts of it as a hallucinogen but i would try to destroy it completely.

Bugger, dingbattinger beat me to it

[ericofarabia]

Bugger, dingbattinger beat me to it

 

Ahem ......

[swannymere]

Beaten by dingbattinger is bad enough, but ericofarabia as well, i feel like Rupert Murdoch in a cell full of NOTW journalists.

[Dog]

Would anyone like to take some and try it?

Try Dune, he'll do anything to get rid of a foreign invader.

Get shot of those courgette too while you're at it, they are disgusting just like bananas and parsnips

No they're not. Courgettes are green, whereas the parsnips are cream coloured and the banana's yellow. Also one's a fruit and the other two are vegetables

But apart from that they are dead ringers!!

Bananas are a herb factamundo:

And a tomato is a fruit.

The yellow bit is the fruit. But according to the definition, it would be the "tree" that is herbaceous. In common usage, if people are talking about bananas, they are referring to the edible yellow fruit, not the "tree"

[SparkySaint]

Hallucinogen you say? I bet its great after a massive line of regretamine.

Dog, think it's a Plane tree. HTH
