Looking to identify seed popping weed

7 years ago

This has come up in some pots I used last year for herbs. When touched, the little pods shoot out seeds out forcefully, so I'm sure I'll have an adequate future supply. :-) Can anyone identify this for me?

    Ha ha, I had a little bet with myself what it was before I opened the post to see the picture.

    I guessed right. Hairy Bittercress, Cardamine hirsuta. The popping seeds were the give away. You have some Chickweed in there too.
