Here is the second installment of “Name That Weed”.
Almost everyone who guessed the first one said it was a variety of wild mustard. I pulled a few handfuls and fed it to the chickens. They loved it!
This purple beauty is spreads almost like a vine.
The leaves are small and oblong…kind of like a fern without the jagged edges.
The flowers are a gorgeous purple on the outside of the petals and a light lavender, almost white inside.
Any guesses?
