today on a walk up the road i noticed some kinds of plants -- weeds -- wildflowers -- i've never seen before in my years walking this road. and in my back yard, too! since last year's flood, some of my usual weeds are not as much in evidence, although not gone....that mustard stuff, and the poison ivy... and i have some new weeds.
i had to look up a ferny-leafed greenyellow flowerspiked plant. it's ragweed! i didn't even know what this famous plant looked like.
and here's another new one i had to look up.

| some kind of smartweed - i think several kinds are in my yard |
jewelweed has come up behind the garage -- i think i'll keep it if it will stay! jewelweed is so pretty, and. supposedly good to rub on a poison ivy rash, too.
i don't have a picture of japanese knotweed, because i pull up any plants as soon as i spot them...don't mess around with that stuff.
according to the internet, you can eat it in the spring.
naaaaa don't think so.
