Can you identify this plant I grew in my herb garden?
Posted by pano | Under Herb Garden Sunday Sep 5, 2010I planted seeds in a box late last spring and where I thought I put tarragon this came up. It never smelled or tasted like anything, or looked like anything I expected to grow.
Ive just let it do its thing to see what it would do, now its at least 8 feet tall.
what is this?

Im thinking about letting it grow until december and using it for a christmas tree.
dog fennel
it kind of looks like fennel to me
It might be Asparagus Fern although I’m not sure if it grows to 8′. Take your photo and perhaps a sample to the nearest garden nursery, someone there should know what it is.
Just a common weed…wil produce yellow flowers that readily reseed.
Whatever it may be, it certainly has a very graceful appearance. I’d do the same thing if it was my garden, too. A weed is just a plant that’s in the wrong place, and you have decided you like that plant where it is.
I cannot tell what kind of plant/weed that is but your idea of waiting til December? Aw, that would be like having the little christmas tree like from Charlie Brown. Cute
