Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 23, 2020

If you planted corn a rose is a weed and if you ever had to deal with a wild rose bush you know how nasty they can be.

Or perhaps conditioning of the mind to believe that the former has a higher status and the latter,none . Like I never understood why people don’t let dandelions grow rampant, What is wrong with a field covered with pretty yellow flowers.

True. A good part of my lawn is clover and not grass. I leave it. It’s softer to walk on, is low maintenance (it’s growing naturally) and the bees love it.

The difference between spelling a word correctly or incorrectly is often just one letter.

The difference between a flower and a weed is the will to live

Those !@#%&1 things are really the only thing in the natural world that make me use every word my dear ol’ daddy taught me. Redid the yard a couple of years ago with all native Florida plant/groundcover, and the damn weeds STILL get through. I mean, their stems are thick as my middle finger. . .On a more serene note, read the book “Weeds” by Richard Mabey. . .interesting and informative, but it didn’t change my mind about weeds. . .

I’ll take the flower of the weed, thank you… ☺

If it is growing in my yard: it is a weed.

Location, location, location.

I’m much less judgemental.

dON’T KNOW, NEVER SMOKED A ROSE

I wonder if even Aunty Acid realizes that this is so profound on so many levels.
