    I posted under the new members asking if anyone could identify some plants for me, but unfortunately was unable to load the pictures (because I am an idiot when it comes to technology and a lot of other things) but managed to do so now.

    Please don't tell me they are weeds (they are growing so well, I suspect they must be).

    And thanks for the advice re how to include photos, much appreciated.

    Thanks but no, got blackcurrant plants, and it's not that. Was hoping it was some kind of pepper or chilli plant.

    It is a member of the Solanum family and most people don't grow it on purpose like you have because of it's poisonous state.I would destroy it straight away.See your Hello thread for our answers,or try Googling for the answer,it might help :rolleyes:

    Thank you all so much, I just knew if it was growing that well, it had to be bad news.

    Oh, I am so angry I used so much care and good compost on it, arghhhhh.

    Thanks, going out now to strangle it...

    Ennill, don`t feel too bad... i once potted on chick weed.I couldn`t believe my friends at allotment watched me lovingly care for these plants and never told me.I actually left some at a friends back door as a pressy! She rang and asked, "Had i left them? Come over a minuite" "Why,what`s the matter?" i asked.....They still rip the p*$s out of me about it. :confused: :D The good thing about it was at the time mr.fiz kept canaries so it didn`t go to waste. :D
