The results of the Spring Queen Weed contest were quite a surprise.
I never thought I’d see a nettle dethroned of the title.
This is not an event to be celebrated, however.
The dominant weed this year is a totally new species.
I kept asking myself, “Did you plant these seeds by accident?”
After discovering their presence EVERYWHERE, I concluded that was impossible.
How could thousands of Sweet Pea seeds suddenly appear?
Well they did. So without a doubt the 2017 Weed Queen is the Sweet Pea.
Not so sweet.
WEEDER
Ha ha! I have other names I call my weeds. We finally had rain last year and the weeds have loved it. I have weeded the sames beds several times already this year.

I call it ‘making the rounds’ because weeding is a constant task. By the time I have circulated to each bed, the first bed is weedy again.

I agree! I plant thick, so eventually I can’t see the weeds. I’m just waiting for things to fill in…which may be why I have so many weeds.

There will always be weeds. As a biologist, I appreciate them. As a gardener I hate their tenaciousness. They can out-compete any hybrid. Evolution at work.

But not too difficult to remove?
