Definitely not chickweed (stellaria media)

[-] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

You're right, I was wrong, I didn't look well at the leaves at the top of the plant. They look a bit like wormwood leaves, but I will refrain from further guesses.

Parsley?

[-] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

No, with certainty not parsley. Probably chickweed (Stellaria media), photo and specimen are a bit difficult to work with.

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

If I crush the leaves it smells kinda like peas.

I think this is not from something I planted.

For reference I'm in Australia and there's been lots of rain in the last months, and I collected this from a place that is very humid soil and no sun at all ever.

Compare with Stellaria media.

Well I plant lots of thyme unsuccessfully so I just moved this into a pot. Just in case.

[-] Fourth@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe some kind of speedwell.

Are the hairs on alternating sides of each stem section between the leaf nodes? Is a bit hard to tell from the picture?
