Poetic gardeners...do you ever have this problem?

Question

Magnificent weed.

Growing midst my Nasturtiums.

Are you invasive?

Answer 1

Ah, a rose by any other name is still a weed...is it possible to "weed" a rose garden without ending up with an empty garden?  So "yes"...it's all a matter of perspective.

Answer 2

Yes...the monsoon has started here too......we even have a large, ugly mushroom growing alongside the mosquito breeding weeds that seem to have come from nowhere.  They are quite invasive for certain, and make our garden look shabby.

Answer 3

For me, it's vinca and grass invading my garden beds.  I can hardly keep up. My opinion is that if it's not wanted there then it is a weed and it is invasive.  Sweet little poem...I feel like it was written for me since my two main loves are poetry and gardening.

I actually like creeping charlie as it keeps out all the other invasives that I can't stand.  Since it is so low growing, it makes a wonderful ground cover.

Answer 4

AAAHHH! The charlie creeps into all of my beds, choking my petunias and peas. It's a daily battle between me and charlie, and just when I think I have won....there comes charlie creeping from a completely different direction! DRAT!

Answer 5

A weed is but a flower is some part of the world.  Wild mustard started as seeds brought from another country.  Glad the rain came.
