- The most harmful weed in our garden is the "morning glory". It grows mostly in the potato and turnip ground. It is very small. It never blossoms. If it is not checked at once, it would kill the plant. It twists round the bottom of the plant and kills it. It spreads very rapidly. Another weed which grows only on good land is the thistle. This weed spreads very rapidly also. Some cattle eat thistles. The way to kill it is to dig the roots with a spade.
