end of July 2021

Urban wild plants seem to go in waves, this year it's Chenopodiums: 

tree spinach (Chenopodium giganteum) which I've never seen before yesterday (29-7-2021)

nearby there were fat hens (Chenopodium album)

today (30-7-2021) I saw some more chenopodiums, a large fat hen

a common orache (Atriplex patula)

one I saw a couple weeks ago

a red goosefoot possibly? I'm not that familiar with this plant but this id has been suggested to me, I must go back and check it

back in my garden, one of my girls

on the other side of the garden, one of my 3 wood pigeons

Jersey tiger moth

the Little Dorrit sunflowers I grew from seed this year have been a great success although the slugs have tried to eat them all

the heleniums I bought as small plants from Peter Nyssen

roses and purple loosestrife

on the side of Sainsbury's is a small patch with lots of self-seeding urban wild plants in the cracks, occasionally pulled out and weedkiller sprayed and then they grow back
