What is a Weed
Weeds are an all too common occurrence in lawns and gardens. A weed is known simply as a plant in the wrong place.

Unfortunately, many weeds can be aggressive to the point of literally taking over such as dodder, ivy, or kudzu. These weeds have been known to take over plants as well as surrounding buildings.

Generally, invasive weeds are well worth the trouble of removal; however, some weeds can be quite attractive in the garden. Some of these include Joe-pye weed, with its tall stems of vanilla-scented, rose-colored flower clusters; wild chicory, with its brilliant blue flowers; hawkweed, which has daisy-like blooms on fuzzy stems; and Queen Anne's lace, with lacy white, umbrella-shaped flower heads.

Of course, which weed goes and which weed stays depends on the individual gardener.
