Hello,
Can you help us identify these plants, and which ones should be pulled? We are restoring an area of land and want to get ahead of the seed head stage.
Thank you! Helen

Hi Helen,
Thanks for the photos!
The first picture looks like flixweek.
The second picture looks like a tumble mustard. Letting it flower would be of further assistance in the ID. Also, you could remove a part of the leaf and see if there was any white "sap" which would then indicate a dandelion.
The third picture is cheatgrass.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much for your help, I will probably he bringing in more samples once flowering begins!
The rains this spring brought a lot of growth!
