This has been growing in my new lasagna-bed. I am not sure what it is! Any thoughts?

My first thought was Johnson Grass but I'm not sure...

Did you plant sorghum?

The birds here like to grow their own sorghum and corn. Is it near a birdfeeder?

thanks, Dave and Porkpal! I definitely did not plant sorghum, but there's no telling what the birds might have dropped! My birdfeeder is on the other side of the yard, but I guess that never stopped a determined seed from travelling!

thanks, Kidfishing--it does have the shape of Johnson grass, but it is much bigger with much thicker stems and leaves!

So it is sorghum?

or corn

Sorghum for sure. Scroll down to see a photo of the stem and leaves ..

Sorghum has a thick stalk and leaves that remind you of Corn. Sorghums have a wide white midrib on the leaf.

thanks, Janet! Cool link. Looks like the birds and wildlife might enjoy the seeds?

I agree, certainly looks like Sorghum! http://www.bing.com/images/sea...

Yes, I would leave it to make seeds, birds like fresh food.
