Things are popping up in my garden. I wish I kept a map of what I planted last year. I don't recognize this one. Did I plant it or is if a drifter...I have 5 of them that can up back where I put perennial types. I easily found my chives and lovage, but I don't remember this one.
Help?

Could be wild carrot, or there is also another common weed with carrot-like foliage. Or, an over-wintered carrot.

Thanks!
But not savory right? If it's wild carrot, I'll pull. I've checked the stems to make sure it's not poison hemlock. There's fur, so no worry there...

No it isn't Savory. Savory has much thinner stems a totally different leaf shape and groupings that attach directly to the primry stem. It's a common weed. Garden tags for perennial plantings eliminate this problem. :)

Pinch a leaf and sniff. It could be Pineapple Weed.

Here is a link that might be useful: Pineapple Weed

Did you have some parsley in that spot last year ? NO? then it can be a number of things: wild carrot, Queen Ann's lace. ..

Doesn't look like Pineapple Weed to me.

No, it's not pineapple weed, nor is it parsley. There are a stack of wild members of the carrot family and I think this is one. It's not one I know from here.

Leave it if it's a wild carrot. One of the beneficial insect attracting plants.
