plants with white flowers and lanterns
By Earthsteward

I planted lots of seeds in my vegetable garden and now have some plants I cannot identify. One in particular is a green leaf plant with small white flowers and lanterns. I thought this was eggplant, but the deer ate it so often that it got real bushy and has not produced any fruit or vegetables. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I guess you could describe solomon's seal as having lanterns too. Pic would definitely be a good idea.

It's just occurred to me that you might mean courgette - they have those yellow lanternish flowers - is that what you mean?
