“For the purpose of this book, I have defined a garden weed as ‘a plant that reproduces seemingly uncontrollably‘.” I loved this definition and swiftly warmed to Jack Wallington‘s theme in Wild about Weeds! He goes on to speak of plants which, in South Africa, would be considered prized, sold in nurseries and shared amongst friends. I chuckled at the idea of them being considered a weed in a far more moist country like England.
