Guess The Pest will run every other week of the WCU this season, with a variety of puzzles and word games for the other weeks.

Congratulations to Nichole Mahoney for correctly identifying last week’s weed seedlings as Ragweed, Marestail, and Lambsquarters. Marestail was a tricky one because it does look similar to amaranth seedlings. When I first started my garden, I didn’t recognize ragweed seedlings for what they were until too late and got busy. Ive been paying for that mistake ever since!

For everyone who participates and gets a GTP correct, you will be entered to potentially be an lucky winner of an end of season book prize. We have a few copies of Weeds of the Northeast as well as several editions of the Farmers’ Guide series.

This week, we are going back to puzzles.
