Weeds, Weeds, More Weeds. What to do?

September invites fall lawn and garden advice. Soon, articles on bare patch repair, leaf composting, and fall pruning will flutter onto screens and pages like leaves from the trees.

This year, I’m suggesting a less conventional autumn topic: Weeds.

Why? Since July, I’ve barely gone a day without hearing, “I can’t believe the weeds this year.” The reasons may be more subtle than most of us expect. And the answers? More subtle still. See Zip06/TheDay for some intriguing insights into the weeds of 2018.
