I was going to start a thread for Solanum laciniatum, but I thought I'd take a stab at getting everyone to post their other nightshades here.. All in one thread.
This year I decided on Solanum lacinatum, Solanum sisybriifolium, and a local wild variety, Physalis longifolia.. All edible varieties. About 11 weeks in, my first hooks are finally happening on the S. lacinatum and P. longifolia... I had no idea they could take so long!
Solanum sisybriifolium has been around for a minute, and looking a lot stronger now that they have been outside for a week or so. I thought tomato and petunia were killers, but they've got nothing on this sticky plant! Another recent victim here, wearing itself out trying to get free. They do gather a lot of other random things too.. Seeds, leaves, whatever else happens to land on them. I hear they can be kind of weedy in the South, but I've never seen one before up here.

Plants are perennial here. They won't freeze to death, but they may be taken by pests are obliterated by rain.
But I think it may be a bit too hot here to there liking. I found only one jaltomata with an observation in the Chiapas lowlands, and I already forgot which one 
Looking again at some pictures, it probably was Jaltomata procumbens.
