i have a weed that popped up in a garden that was not there last year, i don't know where these thousands of seeds came from, but i've had to weed the garden many times this season already and i have to do it yet again tomorrow before these current round of growing weeds drop even more seeds.

it is a speedwell and they are aptly named...

i am amazed at how fast it has been able to get to the size it is at now since it seems like i just weeded it, but that was now six weeks ago at least so... well, not that bad.

no pictures, no praises, just words on the page... :)
I fight this one:

oh, that's around here too, but not too much, it isn't in the fenced gardens or anyplace near the onion patch (which is also inside the fenced gardens).

i think i finally figured out where the speedwell came from, some old potting soil from a container was mixed in there last year...
