Cawdor, I think is an expert on identifying these weeds. This seems to be the year of the fumitory.

thanx for that
ive searched it a bit and one site said its poisonus and another said birds love it?
i know i throw some of what i pull up to my chooks and they love it and are fine

These yellow emoticons could do with a good dose of it then!

Hey dont knock it, Fumitory is pretty fussy where its grows, if you got it you got relatively dry, well drained soil high in nutrients.

However, it DOES produce 1600+ seeds per plant...........
