We bought this house last year. SSAM_7615.jpgeveral previous owners in a row were dedicated gardeners. However I appreciate gardens more so then design or grow them. These plants came up and I have no idea what they are. They now have pods. The ants and flies love this plant. Can someone tell me what this is ? Jack wants to cut them down, he thinks they are weeds.
what is this ?

Re: what is this ?
Looks like Okra, a vegetable......lots of recipes on line.....I love the stuff fried.....not boiled. Used in gumbos, etc.
Did it have really pretty flowers? Okra does.
.....or it could be a weed.
Okra...

Common milkweed. Important to pollinators and monarch butterflies love it as a food source. Lucky you! https://www.wildflower.org/plants/re...?id_plant=ASSY“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” ― John Muir

Re: what is this ?
A garden tour guide recently explained to us that the milkweed plant is critical for migrating monarchs. So if your husband can find it in his heart to keep the plant, he will be contributing to beauty in the world!Toni (Southern California) ... If I keep sewing long enough, will they make their own dinner?
