Black medic

Fat Hen, Göteborg, May 28th, 2001

Annual Sowthistle

Chenopodium album
Svinmålla i september i december,
i december och i november

time for weeds in the flowerbeds
- medic and fat hen coming strong
as tulips and daffodils fade out

and where a month ago
the rhododendron surrounded by naked soil
had flowers only on the label
now the sowthistle, more fat hen,
groundsel and hedge mustard
make a green cover under the flowering bush

Sonchus oleraceus
Kålmolke i september, i november, i februari och i april

Medicago lupulina
Humleluzern: januari, oktober, augusti
