Any piccys?

I'm sorry I might seem daft but loads of people on here are! Any chance of pictures of the basic weeds that you all talk about? Tonight I've read about Japanese Knotweed. When I get my lottie in October I won't know whats weeds and whats plants.
I know the only way to learn is to ask so here goes!

Cheers amphibian
I'm sure I'm not the only newbie on here wondering what to pull up when our lotties are handed over to us( I'm top of the list in Ipswich for two sites. One all organic(as I want to) and the other with all types of gardening). Roll on October!

Thanks Amphibian, you've helped me identify the bindweed that is having a go at strangling our fruit bushes!

Make the most of today, because you'll never have it back again.

Bindweed
There are two major forms of bindweed - the one pictured is hedge bindweed. Field bindweed is the other major one. It has the same shaped flowers and leaves but they are smaller and the flowers have pink radial lines.

Very attractive plant in the right place. Remember that weeds are only plants in the wrong place.

This is a very good thread that would be useful to all daft newbies like myself that cannot tell the difference between a tree and a weed. Is there any chance we could make it a permanent thing? (is it called a sticky?)

For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.

Binweed is certainly an attractive flower, problem is it spreads everywhere, grows over everything, and is very difficult to kill. I hate it!
