Weeds are plants that grow in places where they are not wanted, often competing with flowers, vegetables, and other garden plants for nutrients, water, and sunlight. They can spread quickly and may be tough to remove, making them a common challenge for gardeners and farmers. Some weeds can even harm the health of the soil and the plants around them. While many people see weeds as a nuisance, some can actually have benefits. Certain weeds, like dandelions, can attract helpful pollinators or improve soil quality. Additionally, some weeds are edible and can be used in salads or herbal remedies, showing that not all weeds are bad!
