Weed Hunt

This project is at just the right time of the year as all the greenery is starting to emerge. I know we have talked about making the city more green, but it is actually really green already. I love how things just grow in the cracks in roads and buildings. No one planted them, they just start to grow. If humans ever died out, it would not take long for nature to take over. And what's interesting is how hardy weeds are. Plants that have been developed by humans are so sensitive. I sowed some herbs over Easter, and some are doing great, but others haven't even germinated yet. They need perfect conditions, not too damp, not too dry, lots of sun, not too much sun. But weeds can just grow where ever, no fuss. Nature just sorts itself out, and we just make things complicated.
