I prefer a garden full of grown weeds than a clean grass cutted one. If a weed can grow and prosper without me watering it once a day, I think they deserve the right to be there more than anything my father ever planted on his yard that would die without getting water for 3 days or too much rain water.

Agreed, except thistle plants can go fuck themselves. I rip those out at least once a month and they keep coming back and crowding out the plants I want.

ironically one of the better weeds for pollinators

That figures... I'll be working to overseed clover next year, so that should help make up for it.

Are you actually growing native plants or do you just not care that you’re growing a massive amount of invasive on what we would call marginal lands?

uhhhh most weeds provide almost zero food for pollinators. literally just as bad as grass.
