This is particularly true since it is being besieged on all sides by the indigenous flora, which we consider weeds. How do I know they are weeds? I didn’t plant them. And they flourish without any assistance from me. In fact, they flourish in the face of just about every kind of chemical and physical assault I can mount. So how have I learned to distinguish weed from desirable plant or flower? If it is hardy, requires little assistance to grow, resists active attempts at elimination, and is not particularly ornamental, it is a weed. Here’s the catch. Over time I’ve become increasingly exhausted defending my boundaries. And that has caused my perception to shift. So I have slowly learned to incorporate what I previously saw as a weed into my more mature landscape plan. I think some term that xeriscaping. I term it surviving. And in the process, my appreciation for weeds has grown almost to fondness. How can one continue to reject something that is so steadfastly hardy? It seems almost unfair.
