What am I?

Hello Grapes!

I'm not a poet so here is a photo to help you with your identification!



And look what else I found whilst pulling up weeds!



When I know what it is I will know how best to kill it as I will be wanting this land at the end of the year!

The weeds that is! Not the cat

Hard to tell from the pic - teasel or a spurge are the two that spring to mind.

Is the stem woody? Looks a bit like buddleia.

[sammy_roser]

Nothing quite matches it, looks somewhat like a Joe-Pye Weed or New York Ironweed

[Dotty Sarah]

Probably completely wrong but it's not some kind of snap dragon is it? Looks a bit like the random ones that spring up on my driveway.

Wait til it flowers then repost a pic.

You can kill it by hoeing or pulling and not allowing the seeds to set.

[sammy_roser]

Defiantly not snap dragon Sarah unless snap dragons can grow to 6ft high.

Will allow some to flower and then post another pic, the bee's do love it!

So, if the bees love it, you have seen the flowers? What are they like - colour, size, single or in clusters?

[sammy_roser]

I have a terrible memory and can't remember what they looked like last year

[veggiechicken]

Sorry Sammy, but I can't remember them either
