What's happening?

This plant was doing wonderful just a few days ago. Now she's got all these bad spots on the leaves. Any ideas what could be causing it?

Not a cactus

I got this from a mix of seeds that were labeled "mixed cactus" from temu. I know I know "temu bad" and "what did you expect?" Well, I didn't necessarily expect some rare varieties of cacti, but I at least expect *some* kind of cactus. I realized fairly quickly that it clearly was *not* a cactus lol but I'm a plant lover and decided I would continue to care for it and grow it regardless.

I've tried to use Google lens to help me identify what this is throughout it's different stages of growth. I've got like 4 different results every time I've checked. Ultimately, I'm very confused and have absolutely no idea what I'm growing. It has a scent similar to maybe oregano or rosemary when you crush or punch the leaves. Any ideas on what the heck I'm growing?

Fwiw, i no longer use temu, and this was just an experiment to see what I would get. I also ordered seeds that were labeled "monstera thai constellation" and it ended up being bitter melon seeds LMAO so, I knew that it likely wouldn't be anything extravagant. Curiosity just got the best of me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Raccoon disaster

I have raccoons that are coming up on my porch and digging up all my plants. I had 3 tomato plants in this pot and they've dug them up 3 times now. This last time they totally decimated the little baby plants. What can I do to keep them out of my potted plants? Anyone know where I can cross post this as well? Any info at all is greatly appreciated! I worked so hard on my plants this spring and they've taken out half my herbs and veggies, I'm just devastated.

​

These are outdoor plants. Idk why it matters but I can't post unless I specify...they get full sun majority of the day. They're watered at least 3x a week.

Is she ok?

I've had this pink syngonium for about 1.5 years. She came to me in a tiny 1 inch pot in December 2024. She's grown, seems to have been happy, and constantly pushing out new leaves throughout the year. I think she's a stunning plant just as she is. I'm just curious, and maybe somewhat concerned that she doesn't look like any of the photos I see online of other pink syngonium plants. Others seem to have more individual plants and are vining. My 2 little girls seem to just grow on top of each other. I've never done much research on her (I know, terrible behavior) aside from watering and lighting recommendations.

I have just watered her and she is currently soaking in her water. She's been a perfect child as long as I've had her. Never given me the first issue.

I guess I need to know, is this normal? Do I need to change anything? Any advice is appreciated.

Potting soil intruder. In the US, West TN

I've been watching these 3 little guys grow in my catnip for the past few days. Last night they were tiny little fuzzy caps, now.. today, they're huge! I'm just curious to what they are! I'm not worried about them being and living in the soil since I know they typically are beneficial to the plants. I have a plan guide but it doesn't go into very much detail so I have no idea what I'm looking at here. I'm not very experienced in identifying mushrooms, as is. First picture is how they look now, the last is how the looked last night. I live in the US, West Tennessee to be more specific. TIA
