Can anyone ID these plants

[Old Tip]

Just been Jersey for a few days holiday, the fields are very small most will only be an acre or so and the biggest four or five acres. The main crop is Jersey Royal potatoes and there is some veg growing. A fair few fields had cover crops of ryegrass and clover but others had these plants in them. The first I think is millet but I may be wrong, it seems to grow everywhere maybe as a volunteer or maybe planted I’m not sure. The ushers definitely look like they ar sown deliberately.

The third one down is a Thornapple , I think ! When we grew swedes , we used to see the odd one of those growing (many years ago)

Last one looks like phacelia (?)

First one is chard and the last phacelia.

First one no idea, leaf a bit like sunflower but they are not branched and never seen the 'cacti' bit! Second one buckwheat, third one thorn apple (which will not be deliberate), final one phacelia. A pollinator/birdseed mix.

I would think the first is an Amaranth of some species. It's causing growers in the states a big headache, especially in cotton crops. I've only seen it twice in the UK.

As already said Buckwheat, Thorn Apple and then Phacelia.

I thought chard was a leafy vegetable?

That looks like the stuff, seems to be some sort of weed. Not sure how it got there

It was hard to tell on the phone looked liked it had flowered and run to seed.

Quick Google: Amaranth is a member of the Chenopodiaceae family of plants and therefore is a relative of beets, Swiss chard, spinach, and quinoa.

1st pic Common amaranth. As above it's a sod to kill in beet because it's related and germinates late in the season, we have loads in bare patches in beet fields.
2nd pic looks like buck wheat. If guess it's grown as a cover.
3rd is thorn apple
Last one looks like phacelia.

All correct and yep, Amaranth is the first, called pigweed in Canada and the USA and is a pain to control. Canada have an alert scheme going and advising all plants to be notified to the Government, and destroyed. I would do the same here just in case! Its very invasive apparently.

If the 3rd pic is Thornapple (I think it looks like it), then it needs dealing with ASAP. It can become quite a problem weed and is very toxic
