Dwarf Mallow, Common Mallow (Malva neglecta)
Some plants can compete with your garden for water, light, and nutrients, but not all weeds are bad. Some plants stabilize the soil and add organic matter.
Managing weed growth can help your garden thrive. Gardeners like myself choose to leave certain plants due to their edibility, medicinal value, or dried floral use (not all plants posted here are those plants). As with any wild plant, never eat anything that you cannot be 100% certain you have identified correctly. Redroot Pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus)
Spiny sowthistle ( Sonchus asper)
