A little different video this week. As a seller of native plants I sometimes get some interesting reactions to the names of some of the plants so I made a video that goes into it a bit. Here is the video description:

Perception can play a huge part in how the public views plants and the use of the word weed in many native plant common names has a negative effect with some people. Part of this has to do with what people in general think the word weed means, though there is more than one definition of the word weed. The agricultural definition is much more precise in defining what a weed is and may be one point that can be used to fight the “weed” bias some have towards native plants.

Yes, the thumbnail is a bit click baity - but it is exactly what the video is about.

Thanks for watching!

Good point Anthony. Corn is a weed if it's growing in the bean field ))

Thanks !

Every year volunteer tomato plants pop up , in the wrong places.
Hate to pull them , but can only use just so many volunteers along with the transplants.

Thanks white17!

Ohio Wolverine - same thing here, and squash popping up all over the place too!

Lol great video. Fun and interesting. Though the theme was never allowed to run off into the weeds……

Thank you, Anthony. Loved this one.

Great video Anthony.

Last year I grew bird gourds but missed a couple and they got tilled. Those things popped up everywhere. lol

I suppose Gum saplings would be weeds here if they weren’t harvested for muskrat poles.

I find it ironic I've never heard of smart weed lol

With the acceptance of marijuana maybe the term weed will start being interpreted as good to the next generation

Thoughtful, educational and funny video. Thanks Anthony

Turtledale Smartweed has been around for a long time I found and old embossed bottle that was embossed with the name of the company that sold the item . I was digging for bottles on a hot 90 degree da Finding the bottle on the hot day was a signto me that it might be a product I should purchase . In my county in PA the local NRCS considers the common milkweed to be a noxious weed and it must to killed And yet it is a very importnt plant for the life cycle of butterflys

Thanks Sharon and Turtledale!

Hobbie Trapper - sweetgum is one of my biggest problems in fields I maintain for brood cover - they seem to materialize overnight!

Thanks everyone who gave it a watch!
