Question
I live in Spokane, WA.  In my front flowerbed I have an unknown mass of plants growing.  They are growing from seeds and they are covering the entire area.  I originally thought they were wave petunias that had reseeded themselves from the previous year.  They are small (about 4 inches tall at the largest), they have a broad roundes leaf and they are fuzzy.  They have multiple leaves off of a single stalk.  Nothing is flowering.  I know they are not petunias because some of those have come up next to them.  I also have foxglove growing in the same bed but I don't think that's what they are, there's just too many.  It seems like too many to just be a weed, but maybe not.  Can you help me?

Answer
Valerie,

Just a wild guess, but do you have a bird feeder in the area??  What you are describing sounds like Sunflower seedlings coming up from seed dropped under a bird feeder.  I've seen this more often than you'd think.

It that's not it, send me a picture of them at [email protected].

Hope this helps,

John
