2 random weeds in the weed patch

lonelylayla · 29-07-2013, 10:28 AM

New tortie garden coming on well, just waiting for fence panels - they've been forever. All my SW weeds coming up nicely, but got 2 strangers I can not identify

- help

This one has a reddish stem and ends up with pink flower - seen loads in the garden so don't think it was in SW pack

Second pick of weed 1

Thanks for that Cheryl - I mixed loads of different seeds, think thistle was amongst it, going to wait until it flowers before I decide whether or not to rip it up

I must be the only person in Wales who weeds their weed bed .... I think the first plant is Sorrell, but not sure - that is no good to anyone if it is

Not sure what the first one is but i have it in my pens and none of mine touch it so i would say a no no

I have no idea what either of them could be. I'd err on the side of caution and not feed.
