Seed or Weed: Stay or Go?

What is a weed?  It is a plant growing in the wrong place.

Today the students learned the importance of keeping weeds out of their gardens.  The weeds compete with their plants for water and nutrients.  They will be doing a lot of weeding this summer!

They also learned that mulch can help keeps weeds down, and can also hold in the moisture.  Mulch can be straw, wood chips, dried grass clippings, old leaves, even newspaper!


The class learned how to identify some common weeds.

What are these weeds?  Somone sneezed!
