Talking about a strange year-- this year we have a little plant coming up all over town on vacant lots, on fields that were left idle, and on pasture areas that were overgrazed...Little plant with a yellowish flower--Looks like a minature tansy mustard from a distance--except only about 2-3 inches high...Some vacant lots in town are just covered with it- thicker than a lawn.....And in all my years living here I never saw it before that I can remember...

I called the local weed control guy- and he says it is Rock Jasmine- and that it only shows up when all the conditions are just perfect- maybe every 20-30 years or more-- said its easy to control/kill with spray or tilling- but most folks are just letting it run its course, since it matures fast and may not reappear again for 50 years.....
