Thanks very much for posting these. Quite a few things like the same in the cotyledon stage. After seeing your pics I realize I pulled a few self sown Morning Glory seedlings. I should rig up a harness around my neck to mount my laptop so I can walk around with it to consult before I pull weeds...LOL. I keep "watching" things that turn out to be weeds and prematurely pull reseeds!

Pippi, My plant markers are made from the covers from coffee cans, margarine tubs, cottage cheese tubs, sour cream tubs. Anything that has a plastic cover. I cut them in half, and then each half is cut in half again. I use a black deco paint pen. Those are permanent and never fade. Some of those markers that are in the pics are 6 years old. I save them from year to year and just reuse them if I sow the same seeds again. Not all paint pens are the same. The ones that can be used on clothing do not work well on plastic and don't last, they either fade or rub off. A few others I've tried took a long time to dry on the plastic as well. That's why I stick with and use only Deco paint pens. By the time I'm through writing a label on the plastic, it's dry and ready to use. Oh, I don't cut of the edge of the covers either. I write the name of the seeds on that edge as well on the side of the tag. That way I can look down and read what is in the container as well as on the side Fran

not much difference between their invasive tendencies ... at least here in MI ... and the shear fact of how it mysteriously appeared... says it all i could probably send you 50 more ... IMHO ... its not work the pot its in ... ken

I would say scots pine, pinus sylvestris, but I guess they could be some superficially similar american species of pine
