Found a cool website

"Name That Plant!"

They were the ones that identified the pokeweed.

Gonna ask them about a weed that has been troubling me since I moved here.





Broadleaf poison just browns the leaves. I've tried removing them by hand and if I miss any of the root it comes back very quickly. It spreads so quickly that by the time I move onto a new area to clear, it is coming back in force.

Seems it is violet and they appear to be a bad pest.

They like acid soil and with all the trees around, they have it. Lime over time should help.

For now? Not sure. I'm hearing good things about weed torches.
