| I let my property grow what it wanted without the hinderance of a Deere since last spring. There are a couple patches of thistle that I'm going to nuke but for the most part the only thing I'm seeing other than timothy grass is a blue or white flower. Based on the number of bees and butterflys I'm seeing... I wouldn't mind the whole property being full of this plant. The only problem is I don't know what it is.

| It looks like Hesperis matronalis. In some areas it is invasive. |

| It is commonly called Dames Rocket, you may have heard of it. Do a bit of research about it and you will find that it is a real problem in some locations. The pretty, fragrant blooms will die off as the temperatures rise....like many members in this plant family it is a cool season plant. |

| Thanks. I will do some reading. |

| So you may end up with a large patch of it, whether you still want one or not. |
