Please identify this!



Opposite leaves, decussate, never blooms, just keeps growing, spreads on jointed runners with unrooted knees. Looks like basil but crushed leaf smells like grass. Took a sample at the beach the year before last and it grew readily in a shady place here. Can't find it online. What is it?

I dunno! I rely on you to identify my weeds. I have a vine I can' stand, going on 2nd year of it, keeps strangling my plants, I don't know where it came from either. Sorry I can't help you!

Without seeing your pest of a weed I'm guessing it's bindweed, related to morning glory. Why don't you post a pic?

You are right about bindweed, I had it last year too
