    Are y’all referring to native plants as weeds? I use it pretty much synonymously with “invasive species”

      The basic definition of a weed is merely any plant growing where you don’t want it to. Technically, an apple tree can be a weed if it’s somewhere you don’t want it to be.

      My mum refers to dandelions as weeds and they’re native here in Europe. They are still rather invasive, as in if you’re trying to grow a vegetable garden or something, they’ll be all over that in no time, thanks to their floating seeds and hardiness.

      But yeah, personally, I don’t really get why our vegetable garden needs to be a 100% dandelion-free zone. Heck, you can even use them in salads and whatnot.

    Dude, I just had this realization on my own a few months ago. I grew up thinking weeds literally choked the life out of grass and other plants by definition. So after some thought I started saying to myself and others “weeds are just any plant you don’t desire in your yard, they aren’t a species or group, the word means nothing”

    I am cool with most species growing in my yard. Except stickerweed. Stickerweed is not welcome in my yard

          There are plenty of those, depending on the location. Is it one of the Elodea species maybe?

    What does it mean to “smoke weed” in this context?

    Forbidden weed lore: non-native plants can also be environmentally beneficial in some situations.

      Does it count as a lawn if it’s all sagebrush?
