What makes a plant a weed? Assigned meaning, a function that is observed from a certain point of view.
Nettle. Found last autumn on the balcony growing unnoticed in a flowerpot. One of its young leaves was put under our toy microscope.
White goosefoot or lambs quarters. Grows anywhere, even in sand and other poor quality soil. Its leaves are meant to be highly nutritious. In Hungarian it has a funny name, my homesteading grandma explained that it’s because it gives pigs diarrhea.
