    Dear All,

    Thank you for saving my peonies from weeding. As it gets warmer and warmer, I am getting more and more weed candidates. Could you please help me figure out if any of these are useful? The last plant (on the wooden rack) I don't consider a weed -- somebody obviously cared about it deeply enough to run it on the rack, but I'd like to know what it is.

    Thank you!

    Thank you! I've decided to keep everything except #1 Pokeweed -- Phytolacca, which is absolutely and definitely what it was with that ENORMOUS taproot I tried and failed to dig up. One of the Pokeweeds is near some berry bushes, making it rather difficult to run a solid eradication campaign there. I am very pessimistic, given how huge the taproot was and what a small fraction of it I was able to pull out, that I've actually killed it. And that's with the stem that was only a foot and a half tall... :(
