An entry for the challenge group 52 in 2014, #17 A Weed

I thought about trying something a bit more adventurous for this topic, so I pulled up a weed from our the gravel area outside our conservatory and left it on a paving slab to wither a bit. Over a week later it had shown no signs of wilting, so I gave up and resorted to this - it seems that the weeds in our garden are doing everything they can this year to thwart my aims :-((

I have no idea what this little plant is, but it is obviously wind delivered as there is weed suppressant membrane under the gravel, what I do know is that it is a pain getting on your hands and knees to remove them - we are a chemical free garden in case you wondered why I don't just spray them.

Potting Mix - - did a weed seed blow into the tear of this top bag,

OR are weed seeds in the potting mix ? ?

This sunflower grabbed my attention while taking out the trash.

I recently bought a Canon EOS 30D, which I love! The clarity and detail of the pictures is amazing. Makes me want to swear off film forever. However, my antique computer is unable to transfer the pictures from the flash card reader (or directly from the camera) into the computer. So I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks organizing some things that I hope to sell on Ebay, so I'll have money toward my new computer fund. I'll miss you all! See you all in about 2 weeks

A common weed in Melbourne - I don't know what it is exactly, but it looks like it belongs to Solanaceae.
