Weeds

Weed: a valueless plant growing wild, especially one that grows on cultivated ground to the exclusion or injury of the desired crop. Usually of vigorous growth. 

So your garden is growing lovely, including those intrusive weeds!! You know the kind that everyone has names for the pickery ones, the ones with cute yellow flowers, or the ones you can blow.

There are many different ways to combat  "weeds". You can spray with something that will kill the weed, but all that really does is turn it brown, it kills it, but doesn't get rid of it!

So now you just have brown "weeds" instead of green ones! 

To truly get rid of the weeds you have to put some hard work and sweat equity into it and pull them. 

You get your pair of work gloves out, and you start picking. 

A shovel might be necessary to get the troublesome weeds. 

Weeds are not good, because they suck out the good life. 

People often ask how do we get weeds. Well it's this cyclical part of nature. The trees, plants, all send off little species to try and create a new life somewhere else.  Some we are okay with taking root and others we are not. 

Weeds are the persistent ones. They are always trying and trying to take root, even where we don't want them the most, in our flower beds, cracks, and gutters. 

Sometimes it's easy to get the weeds out of our life, sometimes not. Sometimes the weed killer will suffice, and sometimes you have to get your hands dirty and sometimes it requires a shovel. 

If it is something that is not going to bring joy to you, then I definitely consider it a weed and its best to eradicate it before it turns into something bigger.
