Hello Don
 -=> Quoting Don Dodson to Barbara Hazen <=-
 BH> Just a quick note to ask if you can give me some tips on how to tell
 BH> difference between a weed and a plant I want in the garden?  I am no
 DD> 
 DD> Barbra, a weed can be any plant not wanted in a area you are tending.
 DD> I  planted some Johnny-Jump-ups and they quickly turned out to be a
 DD> weed  in the area I was hoping to be a prennial garden. 
 DD> Johnny-Jump-Ups have  a small purple two tone flower and the seeds from
 DD> that plant multiply  like crazy. Took several years to get rid of that
I have the same problem with some mint I bought.  It spreads like
wildfire and I can't seem to get rid of it.  Oh well I am hoping to give
it all to Chris and be rid of it.
 DD> weed. Morning Glories  are weeds around this neck of the woods, but
 DD> other folks plant them for  their profusly blooming ability. Bermuda
 DD> grass is a weed if you are  trying to grow fescue grass. I think crab
 DD> grass is a weed to everyone  unless you are a person that knows no
 DD> difference between Fescue,  bermuda, or dandalions, and wild onions
 DD> that gives you something to  mow . Simply put a weed is a plant you
 DD> do not wish to see growing  where it is presently flourisning.
All I know is that I have a flower bed that I want to look nice but it
always seems full of weeds and I'm not sure how to tell the difference. 
I occasionally even get maple trees from the one above the bed.  
Thanks for your interest, and if you think of anything, please let me
know.
Barb and Remi
