more weed ID

GemJam · 27-03-2014, 03:05 PM

Hi, I finally managed to go on a weed hunt and I need help with these two weeds that were in abundance in the area. I have looked at the tortoise table website, but to me its like a minefield of leaves!

Thanks in advance.

Could the first picture be kidney weed?
Struggling to find anything that resembles the second picture!
Help greatly needed for a newbie, thanks.

Hiya

really not sure on these two - top one looks like it might be too tall for kidney weed

Wondered about "jack by the hedge" - does it smell of garlic when you rub the leaves

No idea on the second one, almost looks like a fern of some sort. Hopefully someone will be along soon who recognises them

Hi,

Not sure what the first one is, sorry.

Maybe the second is Cow Parsley?

I was thinking jack b t h second one looks like cow parsley

GemJam · 27-03-2014, 09:10 PM

OK, so is the first one edible if it is Jack by the hedge?
And I guess I will stay away from the second, just in case.
Thanks guys.

Jack by the hedge is edible. I'm not convinced that photo 1 is it though.

I agree with Emma as photo 1 doesn't look like Jack by the Hedge to me either.

1 is possibly wild violet. It's growing like mad this year, getting really big.

Not sure on 2, that one always eludes me.

2 looks like wild carrot which isn't edible but it also looks like other stuff too none of which is edible.

1 looks familiar but can't remember what it is, can't think that it's edible either. Not jack by the hedge
