Book 29, Question 19
Is a weed just a plant in the wrong place?
A weed is any plant growing where you don't want it.
A dandelion in a lawn may be a weed, but in a wildflower meadow it feeds bees. Weeds can crowd out garden plants and steal water and light, so gardeners pull them early. Some weeds are even edible or helpful. Learning plant names helps you tell weeds from seedlings.
