Title: a weedy?
Post by: grannyjanny on March 23, 2009, 20:09:56: Does anyone know of a site with pictures of weeds. I need to identify a reed like grass that we have on our plot. It has runners like couch but is round not flat like couch.

Post by: Hyacinth on March 24, 2009, 21:13:24: Google, eh? Oh well, Dad, if that's the case ::)

...you can cultivate all these wildflowers as pictured on the seedsite.co.uk/weeds and robsplants.com/weeds in FREEBIE BLACK BUKKITS from the Co-op, a cheap and cheerful way to bring nature right to your doorstep 8)

Post by: grannyjanny on March 24, 2009, 21:55:07: Hi Saddad & Hyacinth. I was posting a long reply but it didn't appear. The short answer is no. I've done this several times, if 2 people post at the same time is one wiped out?

Post by: Hyacinth on March 25, 2009, 08:23:07: Hello Janet, I think the answer is "no" - one won't cancel the other. I've cross-posted with peeps before :-\

Thanks Dave for another site....if you can't beat 'em at least it helps if you know what they're called :P

Post by: Hyacinth on March 27, 2009, 15:39:25: I'm 'bumping' this cos you know wimmen ::) Any joy, Janet? Was wondering, if nothing identifies itself at present, why not eradicate it all except just ONE plant & wait til it flowers (but not seeds) to possibly make identification easier?

btw....I Googled 'Dog and Bone,weed'.....it took me to three MOST peculiar sites :o Gracious me! 'Ad to take another pill :-[ ;D

I love these old names for weeds tho. I'm plagued by a weed which comes through the hawthorn hedge from next door...nasty sticky thing, super-abundant, but from a small root? Found it's a cleaver....otherwise known as Sticky Willy ;D Despite the stickiness bringing me up in a rash, I've grown quite fond of this since identifying it 8)

Sounds like juncus effusus, it's considered a weed round here.

Post by: grannyjanny on March 27, 2009, 20:00:33: Baccy Man. You may have won first prize. It certainly looks like it. We haven't been for a couple of days because of the weather. I will try & get a root tomorrow & take a picture. but I don't know how to post them so would have to email it.
Thanks. Janet
