What did you do in the garden today?

[jerryse]

Spent the day assembling a electric fireplace / entertainment center for the cabin . Very time consuming . Almost done .

@TJAnonymous could be burmarigold or Carolina Jasmine

Googled both of those and I'm pretty sure it isn't either one...

electric fireplace - aww that's easy, just hook this wire to THAT wire, ignore those silly danger signs and triangles with ! in them and stuff, plug it in and you can have a fireplace anywhere you want !!

Sida rhombifolia​

At least according to a plant identifier app. The description literally says unpalatable to livestock, so that explains a lot.

do the flowers have any aroma that you can tell?

If it was a jasmine Id imagine you'd be smelling it pretty well and right away.

My ability to smell accurately has never really recovered after Covid but I don't really smell anything when I'm out there in it. I can smell Honeysuckle when it's in bloom but even though I could be standing in the middle of waist high plants all around me for whatever this is I don't smell anything at all... So I can safely say it isn't any kind of jasmine.

you should try it, very nice, it's helped me a ton in the past. thats what I am using now trying to identify this for you but YOU taking a direct picture and putting it in might help you figure out what you got better

There's a couple of really useful plant identifier apps depending on your phone type.

YES! I think you are right... One site says this too -

"It’s called wireweed because if you’ve ever tried to pull one out of the ground it’s a strong as any left over fence and why it is also used for cordage."

No joke... It's practically impossible to pull out of the ground by hand. The only way to clear it out is with the mower but it's growing in a lot of tight places where the mower doesn't fit and the weed eater is worthless against this crap. My next option is the hedge trimmers...

Go get yourself a 50 lb bag of salt from a restaurant store, or the home despot. pour some on it, it's gone and won't destroy your soil for years.
