What exactly makes a plant a “weed”?

In Podcast 81 of Two Crones and a Microphone, Crone Linda and Crone Sally take another look at some of the plants we routinely pull, mow, or try to banish from our gardens—and the long history of people using those same plants as food, medicine, and teachers.

Dandelion, cleavers, chamomile, mugwort, yarrow, jewelweed, plantain, mint, kudzu, and goldenrod all make an appearance as Linda and Sally explore the line between herbal helper and unwanted weed.

They also talk about learning to identify plants safely, respecting the ecosystems we live within, and paying closer attention to the green world already growing around us.

Your wisdom practice for this episode: Go meet a plant. Find something growing nearby that you might normally dismiss as a weed. Learn its name. Learn something about it. See what changes when you begin paying attention.
