It seems like I know what this one is but I don't. What is it?     May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb |

| I was thinking not pigweed because the flowers aren't hanging |

| Hmmm. I was thinking Amaranthus retroflexus. But now wondering which pigweed it could be. I think I usually see this plant with the leaves full of holes from insects munching on them. May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb |

| You don't think it is one of the green forms of Amaranthus caudatus? |

| I still vote for pigweed or possibly lambs quarters/goosefoot. Porkpal |

Well, it's growing in mostly shade at the edge of the back patio where the chickens like to go. Sometimes they deposit "stuff" which could extend the possibilities. Nearby-to the right is a wild currant tomato plant and something that looks like it might be some kind of sorghum.

| Hmmm, now I'm not so sure. The growth pattern looks different from pigweed. Handsome chickens, though! Porkpal |
