Pretty weed

This weed was growing all over the place. I worked hard to get rid of it and this year I do not see it any more.
The weed as you can see is pretty but whatever invades the garden needs to be got rid of. It took me years to do it and finally I think I have succeeded.
We have a few more and they too are pretty weeds. If I just ignore them they will invade the whole garden and kill the good plants
Do you keep pretty weeds in your garden

One of the mint plants keeps trying to take over the entire flowerbed. I told Pretty that I want it taken out of the flowerbed this year. (She pulled part of it up last year but left a big chunk of it so now we have to start pulling it all up again.)

I understand. Even plants that we use should know their limits (lol)

@allknowing True and that mint is too hot for me to use. It burns my tongue.

I tend to like weeds and wildflowers. I would keep many of them in the front garden. A few are medicinal so I don't eliminate them totally. I used to sketch weeds and wildflowers a lot. I believe they are just as special as the more revered ornamentals and flowering plants.

When it comes to wild flowers I have a few of them but weeds invade and so they have to go

@allknowing I would usually remove the encroaching and crawling types. My rabbits love to feed on them.

No, weeds have to be got rid of or they will kill all the good plants.

Not easy sometimes when they look prettier than the plants

@allknowing Yes, but the other useful plants have to be protected.

They will devour your whole garden and so you better restrict their growth
