Some weeds native plants I can tolerate.
Like these violets.
They can be a nice groundcover in the shady spots. But…
But this
This
Is
Evil
Evil incarnate.
Evil, I tell you!
Officially it’s Black swallow-wort, but I just call it the evil weed. It’s never even pretty. It just grows faster than you can weed it.
It will choke out hillsides and deceive butterflies. It eats Roundup for breakfast and hiccups. Just pulling it up only encourages it; you have to dig out the roots. The roots spread like evil brains transmitting their thoughts through the tubes in internets.
Evil.
