Weeds...or are they????February's rain total of over 150mm has spurred the early growth of weeds around the garden.
Taking a closer look has revealed some interesting volunteers...
Hollyhocks Alcea roseaand to think I've sown some seeds

Nettles Urtica dioicavery early this year
and much too useful to call a weed!
New Zealand Spinach Tetragonia tetragonioidesor Warrigal Greens
a useful edible native
Calendula Calendula officinalisever present, ever welcome!
Acacia spbut which one???

Red Kale Brassica oleraceaI didn't have any seeds of these to plant this year
and I notice these are free from pest attack

I have potted up some of the Hollyhocks, NZ Spinach and Kale plants. You might like to click on those photos to get a bigger view.
