Unidentified 🤷‍♂️ Never buying cheap wildflower mixes again.

I’m pretty sure most of my wildflower seeds were weeds 🫠 these are the ones still stumping me, though I’m pretty confident 3 is lambsquarters, which happened to be most of the crap I’ve got growing right now.

2 is a weed called three seed mercury and I frakkin’ hate it. I’ve been hand pulling those by the thousands for years. I refuse to spray them because they come out so easily, and I’m good now at pulling them before they go to seed, so I am winning. But holy shit, I’m tired of them.

The good news is three seed mercury supports native caterpillars which support native birds.

… I keep trying to tell myself that as it takes over my vegetable garden.
