I have a bunch of "what is this?" questions from my garden this year. (lemm.ee)

My wife and I started a new garden this year, and it ended up bigger than we needed so we dispersed some old seeds we had in the extra area. Ended up being fun and are harvesting some extra produce, but there's a few plants I don't recognize. I'm unsure if some of them are even seeds we planted or being new ground that was once my aunt's yard we uncovered some extra plants.

I'm new to linking albums so someone let me know if something doesn't work.

The plant you ID'd as a tomatillo is a tomatillo.

The one that I'm pretty sure is wild is too?

The red flower is a Tithonia (mexican sunflower) or maybe Zinnia. The feathery herb looks very much like Dill, but that should be obvious if you rub and smell it. If it doesn’t smell like dill then I dunno.. maybe Cosmos?

Definitely not dill, my wife thought it smelled like a radish (which it's not) and I just thought it smelled strong but couldn't place the smell lol

That one looks like cosmos to me.

[–] SuperLogica@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed, it looks like cosmos based on leaf and stem.

In going to have to look that one up

Edit: looks very similar, we'll see if there's enough time for it to flower before a freeze this year

[–] rjthyen@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I can definitely see it being tithonia, looks like zinnia flowers have a very layered petal formation, but matches tithonia pretty closely

[–] Skippyisyum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can only see one pic, but it looks like it could be a zinnia! I'm new as well so it's basically the blind leading the blind.

I updated the link, it works when I click on it, but that might hour mean anything
