One Man.s weeds are abother man's flowers... BUt i'm with you on this. they seem to proliferate quicker than flowers or other plants. Maybe if they were brightly coloured it wouldn't be so bad.

"Weeds are just plants growing in the wrong place' lol Well, most of my weeds here in FL are from Africa. Maybe because we are a port city. The things they hate are plenty of water, good soil, and fertilizer. One good thing, if you find one you like, such as a pretty vine, the less you do for it the better it grows. I make mine turn back in on itself when it sends out those curly 'attaches to anything' feelers. I guess that comes under...if you can't beat um, join um ... literally :-)

Awwwww come on now...weeds can be beautiful. As children they were the first flowers we picked from the hedges to give proudly to our Mums. 

My husband and I wonder the same thing. By the time we get all the little garden spots weeded it's time to start all over again. But we did find a product that works pretty good; it's granuales you sprinkle on. I pour it on, works better. It's called Preen. It can be rather expenseve but it cuts WAY back on all the back-breaking weeding. One has to use much more than it says and it doesn't hurt the plants or grass. Be sure to water it really good when you first put it on and keep watered, as needed, so it will keep working.
