Weeds

I was weeding in the garden yesterday, but some of the things I planted are things I’ve never seen in their natural plant state before, and so I don’t know what they look like. I don’t actually know what a juvenile eggplant plant (?) looks like. So it might be that I uprooted the six eggplants long ago and am now carefully nurturing six weeds in the eggplant plot. In fact the idea is not unappealing to me: I would like to set aside a little patch of garden, choose one weed at random, clear everything else away, and raise that one weed as though it were the most important thing in my life. I wonder what the result would be.

    Welcome to gardening….and sometimes the weeds are prettier than what you first planted!

    The result would be that the weeds would spread and take over your garden entirely.
