Gardening: A mystery plant has shown up in my flower bed. Any one know what it is

At first I was worried that it was Hog Weed, but after looking at photos on line I'm not sure.

Gardening: Vinca having a bad year??

I have planted Vinca for years in my sunny spots and it has always done well. This year I have replaced it for the 3rd time and now I'm giving up. Anyone know of a disease Vinca has this year?

    rain we have been having. I have noticed it in the flats sitting in the nursery as well. It looks like Botrytis which is a fungus rot. Try to remove the dead ones take away as the fungus can release spores and contaminate the rest of your plants. Maybe things will improve if the rain will go away for a bit.

  • Leaves are soft not spiked like a pine tree.

  • Some are smaller.

Gardening: Weed?

I have this coming up all through my flowerbed. Can anyone tell me what it is? I can't find anything online that even looks remotely close. I live in the West Central part of Oklahoma if that means anything...

  • My "blank canvas"
  • First I laid out the stones on the driveway to be able to see the shapes.
  • Laid out the stones to create the first pathway
  • Little bell trellis and first plantings
  • Put in a second pathway using stamped concrete stones
  • More plants around the trellis
  • Garden focal point will be the birdbath with the little angel in front of it.
  • Will have to create the illusion of a garden gate using trellis and large plants for the "entrance" to the garden from my driveway

Transforming My Backyard Into a Secret Garden- Part 2

Gardening is definitely a lesson in patience but also an opportunity to experience the creative process of making an idea or vision into a reality. When I decided to transform my grassy ...»
backyard into a secret garden I envisioned a peaceful retreat overflowing with beautiful flowers and plants. I began the process by using "lasagna gardening" to cover all of the grass in the entire yard. On top of the grass went newspapers and cardboard followed by garden soil and then mulch. Now I had my "blank canvas." For a bit I got a case of "writer's block" (or should I say "gardener's block!) and felt overwhelmed by what I was doing. Where to start? I had an entire backyard to fill. This post is documenting how my secret garden is developing. All the plants seem so tiny! I know that it is going to take a few years before it becomes the garden of my dreams, but I am enjoying it tremendously! Hope you will enjoy watching too. Let the gardening games begin :)

Gardening: What is this? Is it a weed or a type of spinach

I found this growing in my carrot bed this spring, I let it grow but I still haven't figured out what it is. I shared my vegetable garden with my neighbor last season and I know he planted something late last summer. The simple resolution would be to ask him but he moved. Anyone with suggestions would be much appreciated,
