Weeds being what they are, most gardeners do not prefer them. Weeds choke out growth, take precious water and nutrients, and shade out the good stuff. Some people are like that too.
Emerson said a weed is a a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. With Weedy people, this may also be the case.
My garden has many weeds again this year. I did not plan for them – but there they are. I am gardening today, and note the ease by which large weeds are pulled, roots and all.
Garden secret. If weeds overtake, don’t sweat the small stuff. When larger, weeds are easily seen, plenty of leverage to pull, roots and all. Their exit leaves space, nutrients, and plenty of room to grow.
Weeds. People or plants. Maybe they have virtues. Being what they are, I don’t prefer them.
