Basically its a grass but the root end is little bulbs. It didn't have a smell when i crushed it,so its not garlic or snowdrops or the like what is it and how do i get shot of it? grateful as ever liz

[WG.]

get a shot of it - would be a big help

[leeky]

 draw it  

[GrannieAnnie]

sure its not chives???

[WG.]

My bet is that it is plain old grass.

[liz from the fizz]

Its not grass per se and it aint chives, its onion couch grass - i think i found it in the   weed identification site that was listed for another thread have tried to join photbucket but not having much luck today,,,,,,,,, so if at first etc etc  will try tomorrow. thanks for the input. as ever hugs to all

[WG.]

I found this site for weed ID  - dunno why its got whisky in the URL though

http://www.bayercropscience.co.uk/whiskycomp.aspx?sec=1036&con=1040&fn=fullbroad

It still doesn't tell me what this is

I panicked when I thought it was knotweed but it lacks the red veins on the leaves.  It has clearly grown from seed.

Sorry WG cant help you with your weed, however this site shows a picture of my onion grass/onion couch.. so here i am a doffing hat with one hand and typing with the other. [again]

[GrannieAnnie]

WG, it hasn't got the bamboo like stalk like knotweed either, looks a bit like bindweed?

[milkman]

looks like it could be a sweet potato to me WG.

other weed query could be grape hyacinth - until it gets round to flowering it looks like grassy bits with white bulbs on the bottom.

[WG.]

bindweed / sweet potato, yes, I think you've got it.   I do have bindweed elsewhere so perhaps it is a self seed from that.  The leaf certainly looks familiar.

Thanks for the replies

Have you been growing gladioli on the plot???  The new bits look just like that!  

[WG.]

So what is/was it?

[liz from the fizz]

alas its onion couch grass and it is proving quite a challenge, but not unsurmountable.  You just have to be vigilant and then snaffle the stuff lock stock etc and then pop it in the bin.  thank you  all for your help and advice. group hugs liz
