Does anyone recognize these two plants? I have a lot of them right outside of my fence line and normally just weed eat them down several times a year. Is there anything useful about either of them?

The first could be a tamatillo tomato plant? The yellow flowers is what made me think tamatillo. The second no clue!!
 
They are very similar in appearance. But when I squish the bulbs on these weeds, they completely flatten. They are filled with air.
 
Then it is some close relative of the balloon plant. There should be black seeds inside.

Cut one of the fruits and see if the inside looks like this:

The tamatillos can take a while to grow as well. the bulbs form then a few weeks later the fruit..
