unknown plants

12 years ago

Hello, we recently started our first vege garden abd now have 2 plants growing that I'm unsure of. I planted some seeds that i thought failed but i wonder if they have now sprouted. If anyone can tell me what these are I would appreciate it. Craig

Looks very much like 'Wandering Jew' (Tradescantia albiflora, now referred to as 'Wandering Dew') to me; and that plant below it looks like the common 'portulaca' weed. I'd say your seeds failed and the weeds are taking over. What actually were the vegie seeds you planted?

Yep, wandering Jew, I reckon!

This link will help you look after it. They are extremely tough compared to regular ferns. Ask me how I know. ;o) Here is a link that might be useful: Davallia...Rabbit's Foot Fern

The leaves do closely match on that one. Not exactly a stunning plant, huh? Doesn't ring any bells for anything we might have planted either. I'll watch it and see how it goes. Thanks.

Oh, I don't know that gadget. You might have an easier time emailing the pics to your PC, if that's an option for you. You've done it though. GW upload facility can do 1 pic per post, so if you have more than one, it's not your fault or your gadget that you couldn't get 2 at the same time. When I need to put 2 pics, I just post twice. If you get in the habit of putting multiple pics in posts, you can use a 3rd party photo-hosting site to do that.
