I have lots of Biodiversity on this farm which has only been partially used
for a long period of time. So there are lots of evolving habitats...forest,
wetlands, stream side, bottoms, pasture etc.

I'm trying to learn to ID weeds, and understand what they do and add. Why
they succeed...and what they indicate. One of problems is that I'm not a
botanist...and have a hard time Identifying the actual weeds. Any good
sources for such , pictures. Most encyclopedia/databases don't work since I
don't know the latin name or even common name for the plant.

Look forward to your comments. Frank
