I've studied a bit of weed science and have always found it funny that it's near impossible to define a weed beyond 'a plant growing in a place it was not intended'. The dandelion for example, is a plant with edible leaves, bright flowers that attract and feed insects, and a strong tap root that helps to aerate compacted ground.
Not to mention the joy it brings to children (and adults like myself), blowing the seeds and making wishes...
What a thing of beauty! Such a shame that we chase them out of our gardens...
And don't get me started on clover chains.
(PS I say this with full disclosure that I sprayed my Bindiis a few weeks ago, but they are a whole other creature).
