Weeds grow, well, like weeds, out of the cracks of the pavement with nothing but municipal runoff to keep them alive. Meanwhile I have to work tirelessly to keep my tomato and pepper plants happy and fruitful. Why do weeds dominate a garden?

Weeds are super tough plants that can survive almost anywhere. They have special adaptabilities that help them live even when things are not so good, like when it’s very hot, or there’s not a lot of water or good soil. Desirable plants, like flowers, are a bit more delicate. They need specific conditions to grow well, like the right amount of sunlight, water, and good soil. If any of these things are missing, the flowers may not be able to survive. So, when you try to eliminate weeds, they can be hard to kill because they are used to tough conditions and have developed special abilities to stay alive. But when you want to keep your pretty flowers healthy, you must take extra care to give them the conditions they need, or they might not survive.
