For me, it's the johnny jump-ups trying to take over my vegetable
garden. I pull up a few that are unavoidably in the way, but mostly I
work around them -- at least until they've set seeds for next year.

When I first moved up here I thought violets were cute. I even dug a
few up from the lawn and put them in the flower beds! Little did I
realize how evil they are. Now I can't get rid of them.

Dandelions, the flowers don't go to seed, because we eats 'em. In
salads, sauteed, etc. Bees loves 'em too!

We also eats the leaves.

The French have an appropriate name for this "weed".

****enlit. Go figger.

Good source of potassium, vitamin C & A too. Mild diuretic if you BP is
creeping up on you. Help make poor land rich, if you have the time.

Charlie, ever mess around with prunnela. The plant that is. (Don't want
to get you in hot water with the missus.) Understand she, it!, is good
for hypertension, among other things. I'm going to be 'sperimenting with
it and just wondered if you had any o'pins.

I gotta get my eyes checked. I read that and thought I saw "creeping
charlie". (I hate creeping charlie more than all the other weeds)

Charlie has been a lot of things but the only time he gets "creepy" is
when he is trying to smuggle a new plant into his backyard.
