Weed

As we have a couple of days of vacation, I and my family decided to visit our relatives in Sanandj, the center of Kurdistan province.

While we were there, we had to go to the countryside with a friend one afternoon. It is spring in north hemisphere and everywhere is green, a special light green that in our climate remains only for about two weeks. Then the green ground become gray and the green leaves get darker.

The place which I was there is a part of a vast meadow and farmer are preparing some parts of it for cultivation.

The word “weed” has no botanical significance. It does not refer to a specific type of plant.

Weed can be used to refer to:

  • A plant that grows in water and usually forms a thick floating mass

Weed is also:

  • An informal word for marijuana (cannabis) or for tobacco

Yesterday, in my mother’s garden, I cut a sprig of Lily of the Valley.… Read more »

I suggest:
