It's been a few months, but I'm trying to get back on track with GBBD.
It's slim pickings in the test garden this month:
Daikon gone to seed
Yarrow
Weeds (sigh)
A few roses! This is a David Austin -- not sure the variety
Do you know the proper name of the weed that you show? We have been calling it a "popper" plant, since it "pops" all it's seeds out in your face when you go to pull it out!

Posted by:Johanna | January 16, 2010 at 07:43 PMThat weed is all over our garden in Marin County, too! I found myself wondering about it when I was weeding this week (thanks to the rain, an almost pleasant task!). I think it's actually kinda pretty, so I left a few.

Posted by:Trina | January 22, 2010 at 06:10 PMThis cute little weed is called Little Bittercress and if you let it go to seed, you'll never get rid of it. Insidious thing.
