Take Another Look at Those Wild Surreptitious Weeds
I don't do much gardening anymore and our present landscapers here in Florida do not want to tangle with weeds too much, unless we tangle with the landscapers. Yet, I am partial to weeds. Even when I used to garden extensively while we lived on Long Island, I let the dandelions and the purslane grow wild in a few patches. I wasn't trying to stump on anyone else's good gardening sense, but was raising salad for myself. That in itself was one good reason to love weeds. Sautéed purslane or dandelion leaves mixed with garlic and dressed in olive oil and vinegar make tasty side dishes. In Florida, as weeds, there are crabgrass or other expendable and unknown greenery (at least unknown to me) that tend to take over and suffocate other costly plants I dare to put in and forget to take care of later, partly because we are rarely home. These weeds have a deep green hue and are resistant to the sub-tropical sun's rays. From afar, our yard seems lush to the person who has never seen what crabgrass looks like. So, how can I call a weed a "weed," if it fools, at least, some of the people some of the time? According to the publication "Weed Science" that comes in volumes and supplements, there are more than 600 weeds in Florida and new ones are showing up everyday together with the migration of the masses toward south, their seeds and spores riding on the cars, trains, boats, and luggage. With the fast spread of the northern species down south, we shall need planned parenting for weeds, in other words, limiting weed seeds into an area.
