    There is a weed growing in our garden which is called the brawshla weed. It is a harmful weed to the farmers. It spreads very quickly in the gardens where the manure is.
    There is also a weed the name of the devel de scabus. It is a weed that grows up among the oats. Some years it chokes the oats.
    The thistle is a very strong flower that grows nearly always where the water is or in some boggy place.
