I haven’t seen any wild sweet peas around. They are pretty. Your sister is right on about plants’ weed status.

I shall have to go and look it up as I’ve never heard of it…wonder if we have it here?!? Wild sweet peas are one of my many favorites – I’m going to try and get some seeds and/or plants going along the edges of my yard. My sister (also a gardener) says a plant is only a weed if it’s growing where you don’t want it!

They are edible and to eat one is considered revenge by those who consider these plants weeds :)

Pamela, you are probably right about that book. The human-insect relationship is one that is likely seldom reflected upon unless we’re beset by mosquitoes in the woods (or the marsh as I was this morning). I will check it out as well as the chicory on your blog.

Also, I just posted a backlit chicory bloom on my blog this morning, for those who don’t have them blooming yet.

Often times when pulling a dandelion I will stop and admire the tenacity of the tap root. Much to be enjoyed in what is otherwise weed.
