The pot that has this fireweed in it. It's on ground level with the raised bed filled around it. For whatever reason, and since I've known what fireweed is, I've always thought this was an annual that came up from seed on ground lacking vegetation. Now I know it is a perennial that has a mass of roots, which are actually pretty deep, and they spread. I guess I'm testing the "it doesn't compete with other things" claims this year in my cucumber bed.
