Just Ditch Weeds

Green and blooming



Ditch weeds
I don't know the name of these plants. For this post, I'm calling them "ditch weeds" because they are growing along the ditch. (They are ditch weeds, not "ditch weed" which is a name that's often given to wild hemp.)

Their flowers are underwhelming when inspected closely. But don't they look fresh and pretty, growing in a clump on the banks of the ditch? Even the weeds have their moments of splendor.

  1. They look like mustard-family plants to me; if you nibble a leaf and it has a sharp and peppery taste that is a good indicator.
