    Can you please help me identify this plant which has appeared in with my red peppers.

    Answer

    Dear Jaxx333, the plant you have photographed is Datura stramonium (thorn-apple). It is a weedy member of the Solanaceae (nightshade family). The distinctive fruits are a good identifying character for this species.
