Final Thoughts
Not everything that grows outside the lines of your garden plan is a nuisance. Some of the most useful and nourishing plants show up exactly where we least expect them. So the next time you’re weeding, take a moment to look closer. That “weed” might actually be a gift from nature — one worth keeping.
Instead of pulling it up, try learning about it, tasting it (if safe), or simply letting it thrive in its little corner of your yard. You might just gain a new appreciation for the wild things growing under your feet.
