🌿 Weed or Zinnia? Let’s Find Out Together! 🌼 Ever found yourself staring at a green sprout, wondering if it’s a beautiful zinnia or just another weed? 🤔 No worries, I’ve got you covered with some easy tips to tell them apart! 1. Plant Identifier Apps: Snap a pic and let the app do the work! 📸 Apps like @fromseedtospoon PlantSnap, PlantNet, and PictureThis are lifesavers. But the best one is free if you have an I-Phone… just take a picture, then look down along the bottom of your screen & in the middle you will see an “i” circled. Touch that and swipe up and it will help you identify what you have. Love this feature!!!🫶🏼 2. Leaf Check: 🌱Zinnias usually have oval-shaped, rough leaves that are brighter green. If your plant doesn’t match the majority of sprouts in the bed, it might be a weed! 🍃 3. Growth Patterns: Zinnias grow upright and bushy. Weeds tend to spread out more wildly. 🌱 4. Community Wisdom: Ask me, or a neighbor, or a friend and get advice from fellow gardeners on here as well. 💬 I usually ask my friend Charla @gardeningwithcharla because she is a wealth of knowledge! (If you don’t follow her yet head there now and thank me later😉) Remember, gardening should be fun and stress-free. Don’t sweat the small stuff – even weeds can add a bit of charm! 🌸 And if I’m being honest, I rarely go and pick weeds out of my zinnias beds, maybe a couple of them when I check on them in the morning. But honestly, by the time they get bigger and fill in you won’t see the weeds any longer. And if you do, you can pull them right out! 👉🏻Did I miss any tips? What do you do about weeds?
