| This is the other thing coming up in my garden that now I'm not so sure about. I thought it might be the bellflower I planted from seed, but I don't think so now. Any thoughts? Should I pull it? The new leaves are very silvery, but its like a dusting of silver and as they get larger, the leaves get less silvery and more green. There's quite a bit of it coming up. Thanks in advance :)

| Not campunala, looks like lambsquarter - very common weed - pull away.

| I concur with Al - it's a common weed, pull 'em. Roots don't go deep, so should be easy to get out. |

| Those are lambsquarters. Some of the people around here cook them like spinach and eat it, but I recommend just pulling them before they set seed. |

| ROFLMBO! These doggone weeds will fool you! I planted a real pretty flower in a small garden in front of our shop last summer. This year it came up, I fertilized and watered well. I watched it grow, and grow, and grow (like Jack and the Beanstalk, fer cryin out loud!). Finally figured out after it got 4 feet tall that it was NOT my little flower. It didn't help that I couldn't remember what kind of flower it was I had planted there, lol. Hubby got a real good laugh out of it because he's always teasing me about "planting all those weeds." |

| Being new to this area I don't know what is a weed so I have been letting them grow and as they flower I decide what to do. I have been able to recognize some of the weeds but still in the grow and pull stage...low learning curve...lol
NatureLover, that is a GOOD one! I am probably growing alot of weeds that I think are pretty flowers..oh well.

| NatureLover - I've got you beat there. I actually did the same and then included the unknown weeds in plants I gave to my brother - only to figure out it was a weed later. I didn't tell him of course. |

| Oh man--I feel better now bigcityal. Even for some of us who have been gardening for 30+ years, the occassional weed can still make a fool of us, lol. |
