This is a part of the garden that I didnt rip out when I moved, now I wish I would have.. Whatever this is attracts ALOT of bees which I don't like as my kids have their own play area in the next bed over..
Does anyone know???

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

Are you able to pull some out by the roots
and see how it is spreading?
Runners?
Seeds from previous years?

It does look like a mustard relative...

Hehehehe, see, I was right...KILL IT!! LOL

I hate to say this, but right now if I see a weed, I go into hysterics. I HATE weeds! But, that could be because I have soooooooo many, and one of mine is "dog fennel" which is horrid on my allergies.

Sir,

My man loves to tear me up and say flowers are nothing but someone elses weeds>Daaaaaa
But correct.

Wear one of those dust masks when you work on the weed parts.. I do that when I mow lawn if it is too dusty.. Right now we have mud for a week already.

Happy gardening.

Im gonna post up a picture of this thing in my garden that someone ID's as fennel, but it doesnt look like the fennel I see in the store.. Im assuming dog fennel is different and Im wondering if maybe it's dog fennel.. If so, I feel your pain..Whatever this stuff is, is growing like crazy and it seriously angers me.. [Mad] There is a section of it..then like 10 feet away there is some more growing and basically it is just growing in random places in the garden.. [Mad] Oh it just makes me angry..

The plants growing in the grass in this picture is the "dog fennel" we have. Horrid on allergies.

Ok, so I'm silly or something...but what does STP mean? I love the applause! LMAO Hey, if ya can't laugh at your own stupid mistakes, then what can ya laugh at, ya know! Laughter does us good...Killing weeds makes me happy. The fewer weeds in the world, the better...people might not get hurt so much if we no longer had weeds...or, maybe I'm the only one [nutz] enough to try to cut one down with a hand saw!

LMAO again.

No one has to call me by my screen name, my nickname is below each post. Just call me Ali, much shorter. Just the same as typing STP [tongue] Ok, I better go find something else to do...getting too silly on what was once a serious, legitimate topic and problem.
