A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 What is this hideous monster????

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???

OOOOOOOPS, I didnt post the pics..Here they are..

Oh argh, when I resized them went to small, Ill have to take one more close up..

looks like some kind of spurge.

looks like a mustard, does it have 4 petals & odd shaped foliage?

OK here is bigger and more close up..

What the heck @ the resizing it says it was supposed to be 460x?? It should have come out bigger than that......

looks like a weed :rolleyes: But, not sure. I say...KILL IT!! LOL

Ive cut it down a bit every weeks as it shades other parts of my garden but it just keeps growing and growing.. I just wanted to make sure it isnt something of interst before I hack it all the way

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...

I think mustard too.
Spray it with ROundup when the sun shines.. Kill it .. It spreads terrible.

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.

Its mustard.

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.. 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.. Oh it just makes me angry..

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

Looks like a canadian thistle.. The leaves.. But not the flower.
Whatever, It is a weed either way..

Princess, does it smell like licorice?

I don't know. If I get close enough to it I start sneezing, then I get stuffy and can't smell a dad blame thing! LOL

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 enough to try to cut one down with a hand saw!

LMAO again.

STP..............that is your name Sir Ts Princess.....I am too lazy to spell it out each time I write..
Thats not bad......i enjoy you silliness. I know I am not sane either.. ha hah
We all hate weeds......They get me stuffed up in the fallish months and I wear a painters mask to mow lawn..ha ha

Enjoy your florida sun.

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 Ok, I better go find something else to do...getting too silly on what was once a serious, legitimate topic and problem.
