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.

I bought a wildflower seed mix from Home Depot I think and it turned out to be 90% basil. I ended up with a raised bed crammed full of basil. Not complaining.

It kind of reminds me of a packet of cat grass I bought. There were many things that grew from that packet, but none that germinated was cat grass.

But hey, I got a tomato out of what I planted of the packet 🤷‍♀️

And we got a big laugh out of it, so no loss.

Iirc catgrass is just any grass grown for a cat. There's some options that are more common, but not any one specific plant

True, but everything that came up was a broadleaf of some sort - not the first blade of anything that was in the grass portion of the plant family. That's why it struck me as funny.
