Hogweed in the spotlight! The media attention to giant hogweed helped us find out about this patch of giant plants just before the seeds dropped. Swipe to see the after picture! Thanks to the homeowners for contacting us and to the local tv stations and @westseattleblog for helping us sound the alarm!

It’s summer annual time! This is lambsquarters or Chenopodium album. How you feel about it depends on where it’s growing and if you are growing a crop there or collecting wild food. Here it was covering a sunflower field, but other places it might be considered food. Weeds are complex! It’s a prolific seeder though so if you don’t want it, hoe it out before those seeds mature.

These are yellow daisies you don’t want to see in your pasture! Tansy ragwort is full on blooming now and even starting to set seed. Our team is hard at work to stop that and need all hands on deck! Please help us by pulling any stray plants you notice while out riding or hiking and report any large fields full so we can get it gone.

Sundews in sphagnum moss! Is there anything quite so special as a bog? It’s like stumbling into a place out of time. Plus, insect eating plants, how cool is that? Photo by Ashley Shattuck #sundews #droserarotundifolia #mosslake #bogs #fens #pnwnativeplants #carnivorousplants #kcweeds
