Weeds. Can't live with them, can't live without them. Any plant growing in a spot it is not wanted is classified as a weed. But some plants are wanted in fewer spots than others, and have gained much more notoriety. I have an old rear end book from the 1940's about a guy describing a bunch of random weeds. In this book is untapped knowledge about weeds of all shapes and sizes, tell you what to look out for, why these weeds suck rear end and are your enemy, and sometimes the best way to kill them. Authentic hard cloth covers and hand drawn illustrations. Oh yeah The following weeds are discussed in this book: If there is a particular weed you would like to know about, holler at me and I can share what this book has to offer.

To start with, here is what this book has to say about a particularly vile weed: the WILD GARLIC Do you believe there is no weed worse than WILD GARLIC, whose complete eradication is to be devoutly wished, goons?

But what if I told you about a plant communist? One that waves the red flag wherever it moves in to invade the democratic grasses? A true child of calamity, naturalized only from European soil and not of pure American soil? I speak of the one and only SHEEP SORREL

Who What Now posted:Go for the classic dandelion Fun fact about dandelions: They can make their own viable seeds via a process called apomixis, a form of asexual reproduction. That means for dandelion infested yards, it's very likely all of them are genetically identical, being derived from a single individual plant

FactsAreUseless posted:It's actually not unremarkable. Unless I'm totally mixing them up, this stuff (https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/bromus-tectorum) is more commonly called cheatgrass now. It's an invasive species and a huge problem in the American west. It can do a lot of damage to pets and livestock because it can be so rigid and sharp, and it's a big fire hazard. You're mixing it up. Different genus and species entirely. Panicgrass is native in the US.

There are reasons why it's in this book about weeds, but you might be thinking of "cheat" when it comes to problematic plants mingling in wheat fields.

It killed a Japanese maple that I paid some real money for. I just don’t go in the backyard area enough and it’s spread every week. It has poison ivy mixed in too in the area. gently caress.

I was interested if something my grandma called "skunk cabbage" was in there. Its scientific name is symplocarpus foetidus. The only symplocarpus genus in your book is "Buck Brush," which when I google has a totally different genus.

I wonder if it's the same book as that other old thread too, it too was filled with all sorts of personal opinions and anecdotes about the various weeds and such. I'm happy to see it back though, loved that thread and it's been long enough that I've forgotten it and can love it all over again.
