Gardener's Question Time - Chilli or Triffid?
Anybody know what this plant is please?
It grew in a pot in which had been sown seeds of Bolivian Hairy Chilli, the only thing that grew. It doesn't look particularly like a chilli, more like a potato plant. A deadly nightshade? It's about 3" tall. |

Based on the 2nd and 3rd photo. a type of squash or zucchini. The flowering portion is where the fruit would start to appear and grow.

So it looks like I've picked up a rogue squash type beast from somewhere. |

Think I've sussed it, these husks have formed - tomatillo?
I'd sown some but thought I'd given them all away. Not sure how it managed to infiltrate pots of chilli's but I reckon that's it, tomatillo. |
