bigedsenior: 6:34am Oct 25, 2005: I hope you know that a weed is a useless, undesirable plant. 5 google hits is hardly a good indication of usage. -
Sigrid Junkermann: 7:19am Oct 25, 2005: Weeds - A weed is just a plant growing in the wrong place.
5 hits only, yes, I would not bee too happy about that normally, but none of the other solutions had even on, and how many people are into plant sociology (to most people a rather obscure branch of - ecological- botany) and have articles posted on that on the web.
I also realize that some of the species lsited in the one German link about the Ackerkrautgesellschaft are actually not really herbaceous, since herbaceous plants tend to be annuals, not perennials.
Sigrid Junkermann: 7:19am Oct 25, 2005: One, of course, and listed
