                Letter: 'Worthless' weeds are native

                I’ve been warned! I came home after work to see an orange sign planted in my yard that told me I must remove the weeds and worthless vegetation. Next to the sign were several milkweed plants, young coneflowers, little bluestem, switchgrass, leadplant and liatris. In the fall, our Nebraska State flower, goldenrod, will be in bloom. With respect to “worthlessness” we’ve got pollinator services, water conservation, native vegetation, and no need for the application of weed killers or fertilizers. Maybe I should consider removing the pin oak, it really doesn’t belong on the Great Plains.
