Hello,
I was out weeding the allotment today and this has grown up amongst the potatoes.
It has got a strange look to it with what looks like a spikey flower bud and I could have been mistaken but it might have had a weird smell as well.
Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response and you're right !
I think I will rip that up and get it on the compost heap
Cheers,
Interesting plant. It appears in my garden some years.
I've heard of Jimson Weed but had no idea this was it. I call it Datura stramonium, or Thornapple when talking to non plant people
