Too cheap or stubborn to buy sterilized potting soil,we mix our own. That of course means I get weeds in my pots. This particular weed is a bedstraw. In the summer the meadows around our mowed area have huge patches of it. The farmer who worked this land planted it to improve the meadow based on information from Cornell. It's lovely in the meadow, but not so welcome in the garden or in my potted plants.It's odd perhaps that I haven't yanked out this particular weed yet. I guess I'm saving it for a day when I feel compelled to play in the dirt. It's almost big enough now to be really satisfying to pull. Soon...I'll pull it soon!
