Chickweed
Chickweed is a small, scrambling, very shade tollerant, annual. It can germinate and grow throughout the year, commonly being seen as a winter annual in pastures and crops, particularly autumn-saved pastures.
The leaves, which have a distinct tip, are not hairy, but the stalks and stems are. It has small clusters of white flowers and is not particularly palatable to lifestock.
