She called it stink flower, after reading about Henbane I was afraid it was that but after looking at pictures the Henbane doesn't have pods like that.

they have several different types of lilys like that, that stink, some they call corpse lilys and they have other names for them too,, flowers are suppose to be beautiful, if you can handle the smell

I don't know what it is but the leaves say that it is definitely not a lily. The leaves resemble those of some mallows but the bloom is the wrong shape.

My tomatoes,,,, some container grown,, and some I planted into garden out of containers,,,,,,, well I did not get to eat a single one.
Multiple reasons... #1, I planted LATE in season
#2, squirrels got to the small green ones before me
#3, The few that did make it thru are still green, Too late for them to ripen on vine.

Had good success with container grown Rhubarb. I just planted seeds so that they develop into lasting plants. Will transfer them into a raised bed soon, before ground gets frozen.

Same with my sorrel. I will transfer all contents from 9 containers into a raised bed in garden. Hoping to have a good perennial crop from that raised bed.
Will need to make a protective cage for that raised bed to keep the chickens from destroying it. They LUV snacking on sorrel.

I guess you need to squirrel proof those tomatoes! Dad had the same problem with his.

 

[Molpet]

I had 15 tomatoe plants
I had same issues. Along with my turkeys helping themselves just before they ripened... Got about a gallon for me
