Morning all. I have a nice healthy ā€œsomethingā€ just canā€™t for the life of me decide what! Any ideas?

    Anything healthy looking stranger is usually a weedšŸ˜‰
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    If I go by that Iā€™ll probably pull everything healthy up and just leave the struggling onesšŸ¤£

    Is that common sow thistle?Ā https://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/weeds/smooth-sow-thistle

    Just pulled around fifty of those out, some of which had flowered yellow.

    Doesnā€™t look like a sow thistle to me. šŸ¤” @nutcutlet are you about? What do you think?

    Absolutely.

    If itā€™s booming, it *canā€™t* have been something I planted: kill it quick.

    It looks like a mustard or rape to me.

    Hmm... Iā€™ve decided not to pull it yet. Iā€™m not re planting that particular planter for another couple of weeks so no rush. The joy of planting in tubs is whatever it is it canā€™t go too deep to get it all out if necessary.

    Agree with Skandi - seeds of those two are often included in birdseed mixes.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Now the bird food thing would make sense as one of my feeders was close to this.
