We have been busy sorting out some old books and one of them is a 1919 edition of 'Elements of Agriculture'.
We creased up laughing when we read that, 'A weed has been defined as a plant growing in the wrong place,'. How true that is!
It goes on to add, 'so that a potato-plant is a weed if growing in a cornfield, as is a wheat-plant in the kitchen garden.' We are hoping that this gem will make us more tolerant of the dandelions we see blooming amongst the blueberry bushes!

CGs, do you spray your blueberries? If not, please may I come and harvest the dandelion roots next autumn?
