What weed is that?

8.00am Thursday morning, Clare, Frances & Taus, members of Council's Bush Regeneration Team are weeding at the edge of the shared path next to Artarmon Oval. It's just the best thing to know that our Council is providing this kind of work for people - enjoyable, creative and full of meaning. Most mornings I walk through Artarmon Reserve to get my morning coffee enjoying the sights & sounds of my suburb, greeting the regulars walking their dogs, cycling to work, walking to school. Just a few steps further on and there's this raucous screeching - lorrikeets feasting on the banksias overhead! Truly its a sweet life.

Hi Kate, finally i've arrived at your blog and can answer the question of the weed I'm holding in the photo posted. Sometimes commonly referred to as potato weed it's botanical name is Galinsoga parviflora. You can find out more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galinsoga_parviflora
alternately join a bushcare group to find out more about how to distinguish weed from native. Taus
