OK, then it may be a cinquefoil, possibly silverweed cinquefoil Argentina anserina (formerly Potentilla anserina), but you have species there in the Rockies that I don't know.

11 days in and the green beans are 4" tall. Peas, radishes, squashes, lettuces, carrots, onions, and darn near everything planted from seed is busting up through the dirt. Maybe waiting until the soil is warmer to plant will allow us to catch up. Until then, friends are offering their early peas and lettuces as they are over-run. It's like getting two plantings. _________________ Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for.

The garden has been in two weeks and is clipping right along.
Kale
Too many kinds of squash/zukes/punkins to list
Basil
Peppers already setting fruit
Toms (no heirlooms for us, we want to be sure to get some!)
Green beans will be flowering very soon
It might be a tad hot for peas
The lettuces are not fairing well with the late planting. We might have to start them over in the fall.
It all needs a good weeding over the weekend.
Even my generally pathetic Meyer Lemon tree is fruiting _________________ Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for.

Nice looking kale. Our four plants from last year are still going strong. Gotta like it when you can go out and dig through the snow for some fresh veggies in February. For a nice addition to pasta just chop into toonie size chunks and throw in the pasta water at the last minute. Makes leftover noodles a little sweeter.

"Toms (no heirlooms for us, we want to be sure to get some!)"
not following your logic at all grant. whether you "get some" or not doesn't have anything to do with whether you grow hybrids or heirlooms. actually it would favor a locally grown heirloom but mostly depends on what strain you grow. i see from the i.d. tag you bought the plant, a greenhouse plant so it will be more susceptable to cold and wind than an heirloom that was raised in your garden. it is windy here so my toms tend to be lower, stockier than yours. previous year's plants of my heirlooms were exposed to cold and wind right here so that will help make them more adaptable to the weather here. plants i buy just die after a touch of cold or break after the first wind. just my experience. i do need a short season strain and save seeds from the plants that do make it and stick with that heirloom strain or even buy seeds. first lady is a hybrid i grow that works great here as well as my saved seeds. j
