Weeds Have a Place Too

Weeds
Useful?
Invaluable to me
I am a country gardening queen
Some people eliminate these darlings.
Not me. I plant them in bare spots.
And yes they thrive in them.
Useful happy
Weeds

Gershon Wolf August 27, 2018 at 12:59 PM Nice! Perhaps the only really 'dark, dour' weeds are "widow's weeds." ~ gw Caren Krutsinger August 28, 2018 at 4:19 AM Maybe, but I do detest the plant called "mother-in-law" tongue as it is creepy. Luckily it is an indoor plant, and I do not "do" those.

Arturo Michael August 26, 2018 at 6:10 PM Interesting...A good idea...you gave them a place to be...All the best Caren Caren Krutsinger August 27, 2018 at 7:01 AM The only weeds I toss in the garbage are the thistles, and I picture them happily greening up the dump.

Ilene Bauer August 26, 2018 at 5:20 PM i agree, caren! so many of them are so pretty... Caren Krutsinger August 27, 2018 at 7:01 AM I plant clover in my yard and some people consider it a weed. It's a delight to me, and the bunnies.
