    I transplanted some basil a month or so ago, and somthing sprouted out of the soil. I transplanted it into a peat pellet, and then later in perlite topped with hydroton. I have no idea what it is though. It has little white flowers. Can anyone help me?

    Oh dear Sardula, that reminds me of Nightshade! Do NOT eat it! At least until we find out what it is for sure...nightshade is poisonous! I'd like to see the blooms when they open.

    It also has stickers on it after a while and I have them grow everywhere because I didn't know what it was and it seeded and now I can't get rid of it.
