is #2 birds' foot trefoil? it's hard to see properly #3 looks like a kind of speedwell but it's hard to see again; #6 could be bittercress, and #7 could be a hawkbit?

Well I don't know much about them, WG. Incidentally, I'm not asking this to test you lot. I have no idea apart from the Irish thing. :lol:  :lol:

Quote from: "Selkie"
I remember in a different thread on here someone was saying how teasels were weeds to them, whereas they are something that I would positively look out for and keep -- they are wonderful for insects and the seeds are eaten by birds in the winter


Then you've obviously never brushed up against one or tried to remove the plant from your garden. A truly excrutiating experience. You'd quickly rethink your live and let live philosophy, especially when the dratted seeds pop open and spray all over your yard and new sawteeth burst forth everywhere.  :wink:

How do you mean that the seeds pop open?

I would wear thick gloves and long sleeves if I was trying to dig a teasel out :wink:
