Trying to get an idea of where kochia has spread to in the Prairies. If you've got kochia, especially a newer problem, we'd love if you would upload your observation to iNaturalist so we can get a feel just how far it's moved! Please reskeet! Project here: www.inaturalist.org/projects/koc...

Tracking the distribution of kochia in the prairies to determine where it's now found in producer fields.

Trying to get back on track, here is your #WeedIDWednesday! I think this plant is so tiny and delicate looking, I love coming across it in a field!

Apparently yesterday was Wednesday... so we're doing #WeedIDWednesday on a Thursday this week. Name that weed!

Had a great time at the annual Weed ID Quiz with the central AB county folks yesterday at our weed garden! Always such a fun event. Mountain View Country took home the quiz trophy this year! Want to check out the weed garden too? There's an event coming up: www.eventbrite.ca/e/rethinking...

We saw some weird purple spotting on lambsquarters growing out in the field edge during our walk today. Anyone recognize the spotting? Other weeds around but no others were spotted. We brought a few back to track if it spreads or they recover.

OK for this weeks #WeedIDWednesday this is one that often gets sent to me with a panic that there's kochia being found... this is not kochia... so what is it? I have included a flower to help this week. -See? I can be nice sometimes!

This tiny cute fuzzy little guy grows up to be the much hated, much despised, difficult to control kochia! I didn't give anything for scale which makes this a tough ID as the cotyledons look quite a lot like lambsquarters but they're a lot smaller and fuzzy with no fairy dust. #WeedIDWednesday
Lots of people know this one when it's bigger. Can you recognize it at cotyledon stage? It's #WeedIDWednesday!

Well folks, we're back for another season of #WeedIDWednesday! This first weed for the week is one that has been popping up a bit in Central AB (Thanks @cropdocwatch for some of these pics). I think I get pictures of it every year and I start out stumped. Name that weed!

A rainy day paper drafting session means way to many tabs open... grateful for a large computer screen rather than my tiny little netbook that I used during my M.Sc. 😂... and this is after closing a bunch of tabs... and this doesn't show the dozen files I have open either #literaturereview

Well. A find at the research station I've been expecting but dreading.... #WestCdnAg #CdnAg
