    the forum seems to be having a moment but i've got most of them mustard/ radish things now i think, my most common problems seem to be baby nettles and grass. Worryingly i am pretty sure there is bindweed in the garden trying to strangle some of my plants least its still small for now. Is there anyway to avoid nettle stings.

    i always weed in gloves blackest, I have a high nettle count  and always fing one if I take the gloves off. 

    Scratch and sniff to test for parsley and I think you could have a morning glory there, or at least not a bindweed

  • did you plant morning glory seeds?

    if not it's most probably bindweed.

    you'll know for certain if you wait till it flowers!

    scratch and sniff as nutcutlet says is the best advice for the other

    I wonder what it is that photos lose. In the garden I'd have no trouble telling bindweed from Morning glory or anything else. I've seen enough of it, field and hedge. But here I only think it's not bindweed.

    I've had Morning Glory self sow from the year before, even following hard winters - so did you have Morning Glory there/anwhere last year blackest?

    There should be Morning glory there but i am finding it in the wrong place too. Thing is the top soil is all new so I have no idea what could be in it. 

    Here is an easy one

    Coriander often looks the same as flat leaf parsley. I'm with the others about the  bindweed/morning glory - if you planted some mg then it could easily be that. I don't have problems with bindweed but would it be more likely to be bindweed if there was more of it close by and therefore was creeping in? Does that make any sense?image

    and there's a sneaky little buttercup at the back too! Bane of my life just now.image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Blackest I don't think that last picture is Coriander, if it is I don't know what I've just put on my meal.image
