What is your definition of a weed?
Are weeds still weeds when they are such a beautiful part of this world?
Joseph A Cocoannoeur thought there was a place in agriculture for weeds when he published a book in 1950 with the title:
Weeds: Guardians of the Soil
When I am out walking around the fields, I am frequently amazed at the beauty of the various “weeds”. The pictures below were taken last Summer and Fall and show plants (usually two pictures of each variety) that you can have fun trying to identify. I don’t think any are noxious in the county where the property is located. Although they spread from year to year, most are not aggressive “Rule The World” types.
Can you name the “weeds”? Both common & Latin names?
