    @tuikowhai34 HI, I was still busy typing and I messed up accidentally posted and don't know how to delete it🙄I've been trying to ge lemons on the go and those pictures are the result. They don't look like any juvenile lemons that I know or even smell like a lemon leaf, but they don't seem like a weed. Do you perhaps know what they are, just wondering if I'm wasting my time😁

    Definitely not lemons! If you sowed pips that you saved from bought lemons, then something else has got into the pots or compost. If you bought the pips then I'm afraid you've been sent the wrong thing. I've no idea what they are though.

    I wonder if it's a variety of Datura, commonly known as thorn apple.

    It looks a bit like an aubergine to me. Definitely not a lemon.

    I wonder where these seeds came from?

    My thought too ... they pop up in warm spells ... won’t survive winter in the UK unless in a warm greenhouse ... and it’s pretty toxic ... definitely not a lemon.
