WEEDS
When tending the garden or mowing a lawn be kind
and compassionate to your weeds. They deserve and
need your devotion. They only want to share: a leaf,
a flower, an aroma, root or seed. Do you discriminate
against a dandelion because of its color?
Do you realize, should you dig, yank, or sever its stem
you are committing a hate crime and demeaning them?
Knot-weed will provide so much that we need to prevent,
and treat disease. From Nettles to Chickweed, Kudzu,
Pig weed, Fern, Sorrel, Purslane, Thistle, Burdock, Joe
Pye Weed and Typha too. They thrive. These are a few of the
names that you probably forgot or never knew, that want to
come, live with and serve you. You do not need to purchase
seed or even plant, fertilize, water or 'weed' them.
