Looks like some kind of sedge grass. If you
wait for seeds you can tell then - seed heads very ornamental, but they can be
pesky weeds here in TN. Hector Black

I'm at a loss then. I don't think they are huckleberries, though I'm not
very familiar with that fruit. It is possible that there was a mix up with the
seed packaging and you got something else instead. It happens sometimes. I
once bought strawberry seed that turned out to be asparagus.

I looked those up,
and it’s not either, but close – the leaves are only about 1.5-2 inches wide,
have ridges, but are not very stiff, a dark green. Clumps of 5-6 leaves
coming up from the root. Right now, they are about 10 inches high.
I’m going to try to get better pictures – the lighting wasn’t very good.
It’s just that they came up exactly where I seeded in a mass – and then some
other places later. I will say, I just brought in a good truckbed of
mushroom compost at that time.

It's hard to tell from the photo because I can't get a
sense of scale, but if you used compost from a municipal source, it could be
cast iron plant or mother in law's tongue. They have a bad habit of springing
up from compost. Either way, I'd pull it. If it is a plantain, it could be
good to eat, but without a positive ID, I wouldn't try
it.

I planted garden huckleberries – but this is what came up – I don’t know if
it’s a weed, or what – I don’t see it anywhere else – but this year it has
cropped up in two of my gardens, and I’m not sure whether to just pull
it. I don’t think it’s a huckleberry – but it doesn’t look like a weed,
either…see the link below.

persimmons? I've observed the same thing. I've never seen deer do
more than taste a persimmon leaf, then leave the tree alone. My impression is
that the foliage contains the same sorts of astringent compounds that make the
unripe fruit so unpleasant. -Lon Rombough NEW grape pruning video: http://www.bunchgrapes.com/dvd.html View a short, low

Do deer eat persimmon trees? I've got about 6 real

appears they have not touched the leaves on the sprouts, which are about 4
feet tall. I know they love the fruit. But it appears, from my
experience, that they do not like the leaves. Is that true? Jerry
