    Can anyone tell me what this is? It has popped up in the area of my yard I allow to grow without hindrance, for the pollinators.

    Is it showing any kind of seed pods or anything yet? My guess would be sumac.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    if any of your neighbors have one of these it is a golden rain tree seedling, but it looks rather tender. I guess wait and see how it flowers.

    I think it might be a Tiger Eyes Sumac.

    I would love to have one of these in my yard. They are beautiful and look as though they are a good fit size-wise.

    Might also want to look at staghorn sumac

    Looks like it, @Hobbes86 I didn't think so since all I have seen are the smooth leafed varieties (learn something new every day), but here are pics of cutleaf and lace leafed varieties and the stems do look sumac-y

    Another wild azalea

    I see those all over Tennessee. Now I know what they are.

    Transplanted lettuce and radicchio this AM. Chard and sugar snaps are doing well. Tomatoes are taking off as are winter and summer squash. Getting a lot of green onions and radishes. Will pull garlic today. Supposed to get some needed rain this week.

    My morning harvest: spinach leaves, radishes and radish greens, and turnip greens.

    Correction, those are beets, not radishes. I'm not sure how I made that mistake.

    Went heavy on peppers this year.
    Jalapeño, Shishito, a sweet hot (all the Tag said), havasu, habanero, and ghost peppers.

    Couple varieties of tomatoes but they never do well for me. My daughter planted some leafy lettuce, sunflowers, mint, and some other flowers.

    My attempts to keep those darned squirrels out of my planters. I used scrap fencing I had lying around.

    Garlic was a dismal failure this year, both the fall planted and the spring planted ones. Most just produced a single round clove (bulb) rather than a foot. Maybe the very deep freeze we had last winter?

    I thought this was the most suitable place for this.

    My son and I noticed a leaf cutter bee taking a cutting into its burrow a few weeks ago. I have since seen a couple more. It appears this is a popular plant for them to cut from.
