Weed or what?!?

Okay, so I might be a tad wrong.

A few weeks ago, I was certain this was a perennial coming back, but everyone else in my family thought it was nothing but a weed.   And yeah, it does look a bit weedy, but I'm still hopeful . . .

It looks like monarda (bee balm) to me. But I have also let weeds grow to monstrous proportions before giving in to reality, so I may not be the best judge.

Thanks, Melissa! Me and my bee balm will soon be parting ways. ;)

That's grown quite a bit in just a few weeks of warm weather! Which means....weeds!

But I'd wait just a little longer before pulling. You never know. :)

Okay, I did wait over the holidays. Not because I'm giving it a chance, we were too busy!

This week, the sucker is gone. ;)

I think it's marijuana. Try smoking it and let us know what happens.

I have some stuff like this, too. It grows and spreads like mad, but it does make purple flowers. I'm still not sure if it's a weed or not. I sure have trouble getting rid of it.
