that nice black soil looks like a new layer of compost ... if so.. perhaps it wasnt finished properly.. to kill all the weed seeds in it.. and that is why you have all the weeds .. is not.. then i am jealous of your soil .. lol... ken ps: i dont understand why you seeded chili and tomato into the lawn?????

You're right. Some are serrated and some are not. Could be 2 plants? Thank you again. The person who asked me for an ID said she had removed some dry branches. It's not clear why they died. Plant is on north facing windowsill. Gets watered once a week. Any thoughts?

I thought it might be but it hasn’t flowered or changed beyond what’s in these photos.

Floral, I’m sure there are grapevines in the background (along with other undesirable vegetation). My brother and I have been trying to get rid of them for awhile. Sadly, our intervention is largely triage so we miss a lot. However, I doubt that the plant is a grapevine, at least not one that I’ve seen in that garden. Christopher, I’m not familiar with what trees self-sow in this area, but maybe I can figure it out. Or wait until it leafs out.
