  • What's this?

    I found this plant growing in one of my beds, anyone know what it is?

    sorry the photo isn't too clear, my camera wouldn't focus on the leaves

    The thorny brown stick next to the leaves might indicate that it's a raspberry.

      I shouldn't have thought so, it was soil that was well dug over! the stick doesn't seem to be attached to the weird 3leaved thing

          No idea, we only took over the plot in feb!

          I have suspicions I'm not going to like it whatever it is Will take a better photo on Friday when I go again

            I've stood at the other end of the room, and on my head a few times- and still think Caspid's made a good guess there!

            The plant will be more established next time you're there- so it'll be easier to ID.
            have a firtle below the soil line too- that'll be a good indicator of what it may be too!

              i looked at it before i read`the further posts, and said to myself 'raspberry' so i will agree with Capsid as well.

                If the rasberry canes I've got are anything to go by, I'd back up the "raspberry" identification too. The little shoots coming up on mine (and they come out of the ground, not off the main stem) look just like that one.

                Time will tell though.

                  Took forever to load that photo....try another format.

                  My vote is raspberry too.

                      but how can it be raspberries if that area has been dug over?

                      or is my OH rubbish at digging?

                      Off on Friday, will retake photo

                        Maybe your OH dug around it. When I was digging up the bigger weeds on my plot last year I came across a few berry looking things and dug around them.

                            Well- if the old stems look dead- maybe your OH thought they were just dead twigs?- or maybe the previous owner had cut them back?

                            Rasps have very fine fibrous roots- maybe they were all mixed in with other weed roots, so it was difficult to tell apart???

                            here- look at this piccie ( it's too big to post on here)
