A weed isn’t a botanical term; just an unwanted plant, so you’re both right.

Reminds me of my uncle that was visiting my house and started ripping moss out from between my pavers while the family was hanging out outside, not realizing that I left it like that intentionally…

Maybe you should tell her that her opinion is a weed since it’s unwanted and out of place. Congratulations on the clover, which clover is it?

My mom just always asks why I don’t hire a professional lol.

That’s a beautiful yard!
People think dandelions are weeds too despite their beauty, utility, and bee support. When I was a child, there was so many of them, we’d make toys from them. Little yellow headed octopuses were my favorite. Or blowing the seeds and making wishes.

I love it, but I do like to mow mine early a couple times because it will stunt them and keep them short the rest of the year while flowering and reseeding itself.

I love it. I keep meaning to do this to my lawn but I’ve just been too lazy and haven’t even locked down a plan of action.

Clover lawns were likely a widespread thing when she was a kid. There was also a time when diamonds weren’t the standard for engagement rings.
Both changes are from marketing

Beautiful! I have Dutch clover seed arriving today! I’m starting by removing dandelions from my lawn and dropping in seed.

Tell her she might want to consider that she herself might be benefitting from your ability to have a more generous assessment of things, and she might even want to join for the sake of family solidarity

Where did you get your seed?

True clover is good for soil. Therefore weed is subjective.

My mother won’t come onto my property because there are so many bees.
She, too, is a gardener.

The term “weed” just means not wanted. So by definition… no.
It could also mean invassive and lawn grass is so again.. no

Good thing it’s not her yard to worry about.

I want that sculpture! Love it!
floofychaps
This looks amazing…will be absolutely buzzing! Love the dino sculpture too 🦖
Looks like a great ground cover. Fits the bill in this use.
Turf grass isn’t appropriate everywhere. Boomers (I assume?) have a tough time understanding this strange philosophy.

I don’t know what your metal sculpture is supposed to be. I see a lizard/dinosaur. Whatever it is, I love it!!

I loved telling my HOA that my clover is:
1. Planted intentionally by me and therefore is not a weed
2. Is not in height violation
3. It’s good for the bees
4. Drought resistant
5. Nitrogen fixer
They said thanks and they will update their records. I think someone was complaining and the fact that I seeded the clover makes it all good. No more complaints since then.
That clover looks great. I should do that for the shitty grass in my front yard.

I wish I could get the Clover I planted to pop up everywhere like that instead of just patches. I currently have dead zones in my backyard that I really like to get filled with the Clover I planted

Looks great! What kind of clover and where did you purchase? I’m on the hunt for seed that will take to my yard.

Now you need a bee box so they can enjoy the clover, and you can enjoy their clover honey!

My parents “did me a favor” and pulled all the dandelions out of my front yard after I made big deal out of letting my yard go natural.
Yard programming like so much dumb society stuff is so dang ingrained!

Older people think all bushes need to be squares, grass needs to be short, gardens need to be sculpted etc
I think, well done in creating the most unnatural “natural” environment in your garden.
It’s a little deluded, I prefer my garden to look like nature.

Tell her weeds are plants that are unwanted. ANYTHING can be a weed.

Weed is a subjective term. There are no weeds in Nature. A weed is basically a plant growing somewhere you don’t want it. So if you want it there, it’s not a weed.
