Walking around the back part of my yard this afternoon...this part borders the woods. I found a bee balm plant...several other things not sure if they are just weeds or what. Here are the pics...the first one reminds me of a marigold plant...but they just seem too large for that....thanks for any help.
I don't know for sure but I think the first one is a Ragweed, I don't know about the second one.
ahhh.....maybe that is why my allergies went wild right after I was out touching on it(the ragweed),lol. thanks!
Great, I have ragweed everywhere then, and didn't realize it.
yep. and I thought I had a plethora of purdies,lol.
They always talk about them on the allergy report but I never realized what they looked like. LOL
Well, there are a few different ragweeds,

I didn't either,lol.....
thanks Josephine!!!
Whoa, you know, I have something coming up in a few places that looks a lot like that Texan ragweed. Can't pull it up for anything, and if you chop it, it comes right back. Does that sound right? I thought it was some kind of pest tree.
you can pull them up by the roots before they bloom from what I have read. I would have to hire an army to do that here,lol from what I can see.
You know, if ya can't pull it -- it's a WEED; if it pulls easily -- it's a flower or other 'desirable' plant!!
that is true,lol
LOL!!
OMG.........it looks like Ragweed......dig it out now!
