    Unknown plant

    Hi all, hope everyone is well and your gardens are flourishing.

    I would like a bit of help identifying a plant that has popped up in every bed this year. I can't figure out what they are. The leaves are hairy, bordering prickly, and there are red prickly hairs/spines low down the stem.



    I also have tomatoes growing in two of the raised beds I know I didn't sow them so guess they came from the compost. They are only about 6" tall, guess outdoors Aberdeenshire doesn't suit them

    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
    If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

    They look a bit like rasps / blackberries to me - my rasps have gone rampant and are popping up everywhere.
    Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

      I agree with Jeanie - some kind of Rubus. I'm pulling them out all the time. If you get them young, like yours, grip them at ground level and pull straight upwards, they seem to come out easily, with a long white root.

        Really odd as the only ones we have are in tubs and the neighbours have a gravel garden.

        I'll pull them up. Thanks all.

          Bloomin eck. Just pulled up nearly 100 of them The only place I can think of that they might have come from is a bag of compost.

            Oh I hate it when that happens! We got some compost from B&Q and have a whole new batch of weeds that we've never had before! Don't know what they are but they're all the same. It has to be from the compost as we've only got it in the beds we've used the compost on!
            You may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...


            I'm an official nutter - an official 'cropper' of a nutter! I am sooooo pleased to be a cropper! Hurrah!

              Could also be birds as they can't digest the seeds?

                I have something that looks just like this which self seeded in a out this year. I think they are Japanese anemone seedlings... Or at least I hope they are as I've potted two one and moved one to somewhere else in the garden!

                    We don't get birds in our garden, it's a new estate and wildlufe has yet to make a comeback (other than slugs and aphids )

                      Yes they do have bristly stems. Japanese anemone do too. They sprung up next to a JA so I was fairly certain of what they were. Untill now

                        Could definitely be Japanese Anemones.

                          I personally think they are bramble seedlings
