New Garden(er), please help me identify plants
Hello, I've inherited a garden -a month or so back.
I've been trying my best to keep everything growing and removing the weeds, but I'm unsure what the plants are and the proper names for them are. Any help would be much appreciated. They can all be viewed here, at picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/11634329...eat=directlink Many thanks, Warderfront |

In #9, the plant in the center-back is a carrot or possibly parsley. The plants along the left appear to be beets. #13 is yellow oxalis, an awful weed. Get rid of it as soon a possible! Be sure you get at least some of the taproot. Where are you? That is, what is your climate? Knowing your climate might help to identify plants growing outdoors. -- David E.

Nice garden. Best of luck to you! |

Is there any sign of damage? David |

Maybe winter savory? Should be able to tell by smell. #7 - some sort of oregano? With strawberries behind and weeds gone to flower (maybe prickly lettuce) in the midst of them. #8 -- might be cilantro. Could also be broad-leaved parsley or parsnips (they are all members of the same plant family). -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Vegetables are like bombs packed tight with all kinds of important nutrients..." --Largo Potter, Valkyria Chronicles email valid but not regularly monitored |
