I've just reworked my personal site, and this is my first blog post. Let me know what you think!
It's an okay point of view, though I have a few things that I have issues with: Be wary of advice - because some gardeners might tell you that the squash you're growing doesn't fit in, even though you purposefully grew it because of how useful it can be despite being ugly. Be also wary of jealousy - because some gardeners can't stand the sight of a garden better than their own. And third, treat all advice as suggestions, not a list of things to do. Because reminder, there's the Butterfly "weed" that'd help pollinate your garden and looks pretty; the sunflower looks like a weed until it blooms, and clover flower is both delicious and beautiful. Finally - never use weedkiller, because that shit also kills normal plants too often. Pull the damn weeds. (Though the rest is okay, even though you make it seem very full of efforts - with a tiny bit of effort, you can grow a 'wild garden' that looks like untouched land but still is healthy/beautiful)
I honestly do think that keeping a well-tended garden is a high-effort task. Of course, it depends on what you consider to be a weed, and what you consider 'healthy' and 'beautiful' to mean. But my take is that e.g. believing that homosexuality is inherently bad would be an example of a weed, and depending on a person's upbringing, that can be a very easy belief to hold. Weeds of that sort can be difficult for people to come to terms with and pluck, especially if they've been strongly indoctrinated into a particular system of beliefs. I think I agree with your other points.
Not a bad read or analogy. May factor in that not all advice on what is a weed is valid and that other gardeners may give you the wrong advice for the right reasons. I like it none the less and I think I would like to start taking this approach to some my own weed problems.
