––But both gardens harbor the one I most dislike, popweed. It's a Cardamine species, but I can't ascertain which one. I've already started this year's round of weeding it out–– Roger mentioned this tiny weed. I have it too, a few hundred miles south of Victoria, BC, just north of the Columbia River. I finally keyed it out, if it's the same rosette of basal leaves and small spike of white mustard flowers, as Cardamine hirsuta, hairy bittercress, or locally, shot-in-the-eye, for the unerring aim of those thrown seeds when the pods pop open. Ruthless weeding is the only way to keep ahead of it, in gravel, or flower beds. The seeds are propelled several feet, always ensuring that if you are slow to pull the rosettes, and wait too long, until they are in ripe pods, that at least one will survive.
