Hi. I'm doing my very first garden this year and I've a few plants that I can't identify that I'm hoping someone can. If it helps, I'm in Virginia.
Any info would be great. Thanks!

Comments (2)Rodney, can you tell us where this is growing geographically? Looks possibly like something in the Apiaceae for starters. Can you show it again when those flower buds open?...See MoreWeed Identification help- trying to find rabbit-safe plants. +Bonus ID
Comments (7)Try comparing to Veronica persica for #3. I see you have some dandelion in #2, I would expect them to be bunny edible. If you have dandelion, chickweed, veronica, etc., it is obvious that you have broadleaf weeds and so I would look for plantain (Plantago spp.). Probably another one you can feed the bunnies....See MoreWeed Identification Help
Comments (1)Sort of looks like bind weed. Looks enough like it that I would try killing it the same way I did with the bind weed. Assuming you want to get rid of it, try this: find a bud vase, fill it half way with straight RoundUp (I used 42% strength), dip one tendril of the weed into the RU and leave it there. You might have to block up the bud vase to keep it from falling over. I don't know how long to let it sit like this, but when I did it for a few weeks, it killed the entire plant. You may have more than one plant, but bind weed grows from one central tap root. I killed 300 square feet of plant with one dip. This approach is very minimal impact even if you hate RoundUp. Only one plant gets treated....See MoreNeed Plant/Weed Identification Help
