Question
Hi, Is this plant Lambs Quarters? It & others like it suddenly started appearing in & around my neighborhood in Brookline MA about in mid-July. This specimen is from the curbstone area in front of our house which gets sun almost all day but no water save for the rain. It is growing in very dry soil near concrete. Thanks!
Answer
Dear BrooklineBiker, yes, it is likely Chenopodium album (white goosefoot, sometimes called lamb's-quarters). Without fruit, there isn't a way to be completely certain, but the morphology suggests the species you believed it to be. Best wishes.
