Weed Identification

I took photos of the weeds in the Patch.  At another
place and time, these guys would just be leafy green
friends minding their own business, but as long as
they are competing for space with the critters we
are raising, they pose a threat.  The weeds in the Patch
are common to wide areas of the United States.

Common Purslane, or Portulaca oleracea

Lamb's Quarters, or Chenopodium album

Carpet Weed, or Mollugo verticillata

Large Crabgrass, or Digitaria sanguinalis

Spotted Spurge, or Euphorbia maculata

Here is a useful Virginia Tech website that will help
you identify weeds in your own garden.
