Why is it

Jul 01, 2004 4 Replies

If you try and plant grass or flowers in a certain spot they can make for problems in growing etc, but where you don;t want them they seem to grow all by themselves. If only flowers, grass and veggies were as easy to grow as weeds, I may actually have more fun with gardening etc. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy growing and pnating things, but weeds overall is a real pain. Nothing seems to bother weeds, like grubs, grasshoppers and other insects.......only real threat is man, (woman) but everything like to eat or prey on a flower or veggie.

Who are you trying to be?

A Dave Barry wannabe?

Yep, I know that you mean. Sometimes I think gardening is about trying to keep order as much as it is about growing plants.

One reason is that "weeds" are the most successful plants for a given area, and the stuff we try to nurture usually isn't. That is, a wild tomato growing wherever tomatoes originated, is probably a successful weed and very little like the cultivars in our gardens and farms.
