I always called that swamp smartweed. Its good to know the real name. That seems to be the most prevalent type thats naturally occurring below the fall line in GA.Nodding smartweedView attachment 1036541

Is this a recent picture? If it is its way ahead of any I've seen so far this year.Pennsylvania SmartweedView attachment 1036540
Where do you get your smartweed. I tried it one year from a supplier in Texas if I remember right and was not impressed.
I pick mine from established stands (mostly already on my farm) then freeze it or just spread it by the pocket full through out the winter. You can buy it on line from native nursery and probably some other suppliers. Picking your own is more efficient if you have a kid to do it for you. Just pull the flowers off and the black seeds will drop out when you rub it between your fingers.
Coming to see you this winter bro, I'll bring steaks n likker, not able to hunt
Yep, I took those pics yesterday afternoon. Biggest difference in swamp smartweed and nodding is that swamp is a perennial and nodding is an annual like Pennsylvania. Swamp is considered inferior as a food source to annual smartweeds but I know ducks still like it
Solid teal hunt this am. Good to be back at it.View attachment 1038167
