We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Flowers and Gardens Illustrated, Vol 1: Garden Weeds - Invasive Plant Identification" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

By answering the 10 questions provided in this book, you will be able to zero in on whether a suspected plant is a weed or another type of invasive plant. No single answer on its own stands alone as the definition of a weed. You will find it amazing that in some instances, a weed is something that you may decide you want when planning your landscape strategies. I hope that neophyte gardeners, armed with my books, Nancy writes, will march undaunted into their flower gardens to recognize, name, and eradicate suspected plant offenders with an appreciation of the resourceful nature and redeeming value of these so-called villains. This book is a must for all gardeners!

Acknowledgements

Id like to thank

Dr. Andy Senesac, PhD in Weed Science of the Long Island Horticultural Research Center of Cornells Co-operative Extension (CCE) in Riverhead, NY, whose passion for the science of weeds and whose well-labeled weed garden, weed lab, and weed testing area provided inspiration, information, an exciting behind-the scenes look, and hands-on experience. He has corrected my false starts and encouraged me as he read through many drafts. He is an impressive researcher into the uses of weeds for landscaping highways as well as the up-to-the-minute methods for the control of weeds on nurseries and farms. He helped edit and produce a favorite weed book, Weeds of the Northeast , which I have read till its almost worn out. Id also like to thank the many teachers of the Master Gardeners school of Cornell where I received so much support and encouragement to lecture, teach, and write, and to Caroline T. Kiang, Director of the program, who led me to Dr. Senesac. She launched me on my lecture series, especially at the CCEs Spring Gardening School and the post grad volunteer program that led me to community lectures.

For my green orientation, Id like to thank Jeff Frank of The Nature Lyceum who changed my paradigm to organics, provided a platform for my lectures about organic management of weeds, gave me the opportunity to practice keeping students attention without visual aids, and who introduced me to The Organic Turf Trade Show with its large audience.

Special thanks to my Botany Professor, Ken Ettlinger, who enlightened me about the role of plants in nature and familiarized me with botano-speak. He believed in the books mission, felt that such an organically oriented book was never more needed than now, and encouraged my approach and writing style.

I extend heartfelt and personal thanks to Therese Madonia, professional journalist, editor, passionate Master Gardener, and my desk mate at CCE, for her encouragement, writing lessons, and editorial comments. I also appreciate the generous work of my brother James Kardon, accomplished law partner, who has diligently proofread and edited my many drafts over the years. He raised challenging questions, directed me to paradigm-changing reading, assiduously reminded me of our grammar lessons in high school, all as he cheered me on. And of course a special thanks to my loving and inspiring spousewho has published books on gems and minerals and who is now completing a fabulous novel, a roman a cleffor his support in this all-consuming passion. He established a writers workshop that provided a forum to bring this book from concept to completion. Thanks too to those attendees at my lectures who not only stayed awake, but also insisted they were eager for such a book.

And thanks too to my agent Loretta Barrett and the team at Author & Company, especially Ned Barrett and Laura Van Wormer, for belief in the project, foresight about e-books, and for help in getting this published.

I dedicate this book to all those inspiring garden volunteers, the weeds.

INTRODUCTION
10 Ways to Tell if Its a Weed

Picture 9

A visitor compliments a little monk on the profuse beauty of his flower garden by saying My, what wonders God has wrought! The monk replies You should have seen it when God had it all to Himself. What makes a cultivated garden different from an overgrown vacant lot? One factor is your willa choice you, as the chief gardener, make to put plants in an agreeable order. A garden left to its own devices will devolve naturally into a sea of weeds that bury not only plants, but also hardscapes, buildings, cars. Not necessarily people-eating weeds like Audrey II in The Little Shop of Horrors or the invading triffids in The Day of the Triffids, but weeds.

Is it a weed? 10 ways to tell

These 10 questions help me daily to determine if a suspected plant is a weed. Alas, no single answer, on its own, stands alone as a definition. Ask yourself:

1. Have known cultivars or crops disappeared as the suspect grows?

2. Does the suspect have especially rapid growth as it knocks off the competition?
