The Mysterious Plants

Weed or not weed, what to do about all the plants I didn't plant here? I'm starting to learn the kind of weed management required to keep crop breathing. Not all weeds can go, they have all grown up here for a reason. Not all space can be cleared. That would be a waste of effort. It occured to me I don't know the names of many of the plants I am pulling, although I've heard a rule of thumb - you shouldn't remove any plant you aren't familiar with. Looking around online at the King County Noxious Weed List. It will take me forever to work over this list. Better to learn from a mentor, quicker. For now I have to settle for the Noxious Weed List. As if I should be in school for this stuff.
