Fearless Weeding 101

  

Ah...gardening is so much fun. Nothing like a little early morning weeding to start the day off right. RIGHT??? I can almost see that strange look on your face, stretched halfway between surprise and derision. Yeah, right. Almost as fun as starting off the day with a root canal ... ... Whoa! Who says that what you do first thing in the morning has to be "fun?" Let me tell 'ya something. There's gold in them there weeds -- gold nuggets of nutrition and wisdom -- abundant and free for the taking. For example: Did you know that lots of common garden weeds are highly edible? Purslane tastes a bit like spinach. Lambs Quarter tastes great in salads. Even that horrible stuff known as nutgrass has edible tubers. Not only that; weeds are extremely high in nutrients: (Click here for edible weeds.) And the Italians purposely brought dandelions to America as edible plants! (Can you believe that?) (Click here for recipes.) What about weed wisdom? Did you know that the hardest weeds to pull are those that grow closest to the plants? Some weeds hide themselves so well beneath the plants' foliage that it's easy to miss them. In time, though, these same weeds do the most damage because their roots become entangled with those of the plants, robbing them of precious light and energy needed for growth. By the time we finally see them for what they are (weeds) it's almost impossible to pull them out without causing at least some temporary injury to the plant. Habitual negative thinking, dwelling on the hurts of the past, and failing to forgive are just like those darn weeds, aren't they? Pulling weeds first thing in the morning may not be the most pleasant task, but it sure helps clear my mind of any "weeds" that might have sprung up there overnight. Besides...who knows...I might even find something out there for breakfast!
