| I just noticed that when I spring cleaned. I spring cleaned a lot of my poppies. Has anyone else pulled out flowers thinking it was a weed? Any suggestions on how to master the art on knowing whats a weed to whats a plant?
Thanks Meadow |

| alot of times if I'm not sure what something is, I'll let one grow to see what it turns into. If I don't like it, I pull it. |

I rarely pull them,I always let it grow out a bit to be sure first,but,Gramma on the other hand is her own worst enemy,she pulls out at least 3 different things a year! She is 71 and has not gotten any better over the years! She knows the difference,it just usually when it's too late! :O My suggestions is that of the medo and Linda,don't pull unless you are sure! I observe the seedlings as they grow,so if it is a weed,the next time around I know what it looks like at different stages.
Don't feel bad,lots of gardeners sabotage them selves...lol.. |

| Sure, I have done that before, probably many times. Time and experience has probably cut that down some. Then, I also grow from seed, so I know a bit more about what the baby plants look like. Finally, I winter sow and always have too many plants, so if I screw up, I can easily replace. |

after pulling up 3 bulbs last yr thinking they were grass, I've learned to just let it all "grow till I know" LOL
