Mother of Gawd, It's Weed Blogging!

weed

After a flurry of recent gardening posts over at Beth's and Jen's, Jaynee of Cootiehog sent me this picture of a weed that is getting into her yard and asked if I could identify it.

Well, frankly, I cannot. I thought it might be some kind of plaintain, but I really don't know. However, in doing a bit of quick research, I stumbled across this nifty Weed Identification Guide put out by Virginia Tech, a veritable Rogue's Gallery of leafy villains, including many that have made it into the yard and gardens surrounding Orgle Manor.

I hope this helps, Jaynee. In the meantime, if the little bugger pictured above looks familiar to anyone else out there, drop us a line.

UPDATE: Now that I think about it, I guess we're going to start getting all kinds of traffic from both potheads and DEA agents. Honest, officer, it's all just a terrible misunderstanding......

YIPS from Steve: Hey there, pardner, be mighty careful with the Google chumming. After all, you were the one who had a post the other day that had "bong" in it. Leave the tricky stuff to me-----ginning up all sorts of illicit traffic from assorted pervs looking for nekkid pictures of Weather Channel hotties, and Margaret Thatcher.

Oh sure, you'll post pictures of someone else's weed but not pictures of your own garden. I see how it is. :)

I can't really tell from the picture, but it looks like it might be some form of dock (Rumex sp.). Does it have a tap root?

Ah yes, "weed" and "bong". Now all you need for the Google chumming DEA folks to find you are "EZ wider", "Hyroponics", and "grow light".

Oops, my bad . . .
