>> Ive found over the years that as soon as the word [WEED] comes out of
someone's mouth, they no longer are opening to creating a relationship with
that plant which fosters a co-creative interchange <<
Too true. Saying, "That plant is a weed," is like saying, "That plant is my
enemy and I have an excuse to kill it."
The local ag agents say a weed is the wrong plant in the wrong place at the
wrong time.
However, there are some examples to the contrary, Scooter Cheetham here in
Texas holds a 'weed feed' where he teaches folks how to harvest and eat weed
(a.k.a. wild plants).
