Have you ever had a plant pop up in the garden and wondered if you should leave it alone and see what happens?
A plant magically appears in the garden. Do you immediately pull it or leave it to grow and see if it has a pretty flower? New Jersey's Rutgers Cooperative Research and Extension has a website that will help you decide. Thumbnail photos are posted on their website to help you identify the plant. What one person calls a weed, you might call a beautiful plant. Click on the photo to read about the plant and find out if it will be a problem in your garden.
