Weeds

Weeds Why do I do so well at growing things, I don't want to grow, and do so badly and the other plants, I work hard to keep alive? The value of weeds is a question I have pondered at length. At first we went to war. I pulled and pulled the intruders out. They came back, their numbers increased by dispersion, into the soil. I thought to use chemicals next, and then looked about at the birds in the trees, the bees in the flowers, and the cat next door on the sunny porch. I also suddenly remembered the dumb bunny... that comes in the morning, and eats his fill. I moved on. Under further investigation, I discovered many of the green aliens offered a bounty of teas, healing properties, and editable delights. I had not considered their usefulness. Learning new knowledge, and expanding my world, made a difficult problem solvable, and even provided an answer to as yet unknown questions, until now. Weeds
