Default What weed grew best for you this year?

Sorry but I couldn't resist blending two neighboring messages. In my case

I'd
have to say Japanese Climbing fern, with Cat's Claw as a close second.

They all did well - lambs quarter, dandelion, sorrel, oxalis, ground ivy,
clover, etc, etc.
But I allow all the weeds to grow until they flower and pull them before
they seed. Most are beneficial to attract insects and the ones with deep tap
roots help to pull up nutrients from the soil. The clovers and sorrel I use
as green mulch.
The ground ivy I definitely pull out of the beds but it makes a nice hardy
ground cover for pathways.
