Another what-is-it weed
I have quite a growth of a very low lying weed all around my onions. It has very shallow roots - grows about half an inch high. Has spikey (but not sharp) leaves - about 1mm wide. Small flowers which have four petals - yellowy/whitish/green - about 4mm across. It is not chickweed (flowers not right) Any suggestions I can look up photos of please? (The onions are fine !!) |
