It is low growing, with the same type of leaf structure as flat-leaf parsley, only much more delicate. It is a paler shade of green, too, and the leaves closer to the soil can be even paler, nearly white, or a very odd shade of purple. What made me think it could be a herb is that when crushed it smell of licorice/aniseed. I was so enthusiastically weeding I did not take the time to take a pic. I hope my description is enough to identify it? TIA. Could it be Chervil? Though I think the leaves may be more finely cut than the plant you are describing. Jennifer Do you know, I think you've just cracked it! The photos I can find look remarkably like the stuff I have been pulling from under my beans! Thank you so much! Cat(h) (who will keep whatever more of it shows up)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Definitely Chervil: I read in one of the website that more mature leaves turn a shade of bronze, which I described as purple. Not sure how it ended up in my garden! Thanks again! Cat(h) |
