Hmm ?

maybe butterweed, AKA cressleaf groundsel

I just told my husband I am continually amazed by the people on this website. Not only do they know the names of the flowers but even the weeds!!!!!

Don't think in all the years of gardening ~~did I ever see this weed?! Its quite pretty to be a weed. I wonder where it came from out of the blue?

When I called up images ~~ I didn't think the leaves looked the same? Unless its immature?

Birdie gift.

Don' know, but looks like it should go in a goumet salad - don't try it through.

It looks like a type of Rocket, Sylvetta (OG)
(Diplotaxis tenuifolia) or Eruca sativa.

Ya know I think I did have some Mesclun salad green seeds this Spring & not sure what happened to them or if I threw in the garden when not feeling well! I did have some leaf lettuce growing in that area!!!!?

Hmmmm, well I have no clue.

still tryin~ The leaves look different to me.

Micro greens?

How's come my weeds are never that pretty???

Still puzzled? i found my seed packet from Spicy Micro green (Botanical Interests seeds) & I looked up everything included in that but nothing looks like mine. Just letting it grow...not ugly~ Just won't let it go to seed unless I know for sure.

The leaves look different to me too. I thought your plant might have been a variety of rocket but I can't find any pictures on the internet that look like your plant. I wonder if your plant is in the Brassicaceae – Mustard family.

You may need to see what seeds look like when they develop to figure out what that plant is.

I have never seen that weed before.
