Shepherd's-purse - Capsella bursa-pastoris

Ranked #32,303 in Home & Garden, #587,127 overall

the Weeds in my Garden Series

another common weed in this area, and this stuff grows just like a weed, it is everywhere

on the plus side its seeds are full of oil and this could be used as an oil substitute fuel, the down side is its tiny and it takes a lot of the seeds to do anything.

these are not uncontrollable problems and in a few years, who knows,
we might be driving around using this plant for fuel

stranger things have happened.
