How to Spot a Weed

By Gardenamateur

Spotted a weed this morning, so as a public service, here's how to spot a weed ...

Q: Did you plant it there?

A: No.

Answer: It's a weed!


Supplementary question for hopeless romantics

Q: What are the odds it is not a weed and in fact a rare and special plant which has chosen your garden to grow in, because you, too, are rare and special?

A: One in about, roughly ... oh, let me see ... a billion, or thereabouts.


Sorry to be a weekend party pooper, but if you're looking for something to do in your garden this weekend, pull out all (or at least lots) of the weeds you find.
