| Hi all, We just bought this house and we're short on cash now so I weeded and tilled the garden then planted seeds. I failed to write down what I planted and I know I'll probably get a lot of weeds so I'm wondering what's a flower and what's a weed. If anyone could help that would be terrific. This is what I'm most curious about: The short fat leafed plant with a reddish tint at the edges, kind of looks like a succulent. The crabgrass?? :-( I'm secretly hoping this is not crabgrass but I'm probably kidding myself. The fern-y looking plant I have another plant not in this photo but I couldn't upload more than one pic. Again, thank you all so much for any advice. |

| Ummm in that picture I see some cosmos and some poppies, some sort of lawn grass, possibly some petunias, possibly some baby sedums |

| The succulent is purslane. It's an edible. Most people don't grow it for its appearance -- but whether you decide to is up to you. Yes, it's crabgrass. Pulls more easily while it's still small.... I don't know what your ferny plant is, but it certainly looks promising! Unless you use a photo-hosting site like Photobucket or flickr, or can post your photos somewhere else on the web, GW limits you to one photo per post. You can add additional photos on this thread by making additional posts ("Post a Follow-Up"). You will still be limited to one photo per post. Sometimes GW's software gets a bit too paranoid and assumes you're trying to repeat your prior post (which would be considered spam); if your next post won't go through, simply change the text in the "Subject of Posting" field. That should persuade the software you're not a Bad Guy. |

| OK probably no one else will do this for you, but I highlighted the grass I can identify. This is just centipede grass or bermuda grass or something. You don't want it in a flower bed.

| Also yes to miss obvious, PURSLANE not sedums! :) my mistake. but I knew what I was imagining in my head.. haha |
|
| Thank you all so much, this is a huge help. My loving husband told me it was grass (you know, the one that looks like grass) I guess I had to hear it from the horses mouth :-) my husband also sat down and helped me pull it so I can't complain too much. Here is the other plant I don't know about. Again, many thanks. |
|
| I'm not sure what these are but I do have some growing myself in a bed I made with "wildflower mix" packets. Haha! |
|
| A lovely start you have there. There is still crabgrass in there that will be easy to pull if you can get it now. The two plants in front and one to the right side of the center plant. Sort of the second row. |
|
| It would be a weird plant for a wildflower mix, but they kinda look like dahlia seedlings. |
