Found lurking around the allotment hedge about a month ago, staked it as i like the veined stems and flowers, now Approx 4' high. Pale blue/lilac flowers vvvsimilar to tomatillo yellow ones. Husks containing v small fruit. Anyone know what it is? Is it safe?

Probably not, with you eyeing up its fruit. Any chance of a pic?

It's not Morning Glory is it? That'll give you a bit of a surprise if you eat it!

I think it is Morning Glory! It certainly looks like the ones my old hippy friends grow!

Any other ideas?
