Weeds get pulled before they seed
Weeds get pulled before they seed. What is in front of you is weeds in flower.
Do it in order
Handle it this way: pull them before the seed heads open. Wash the tool when you move to the next plant.
The usual miss
People lose cuttings and seedlings to a weed left because the flowers looked small. Slow down there.
Finished means the seed heads are in the bucket, not on the plant. If you are guessing, water less than you want to and look again tomorrow.
This sits in "Beds and seasons", written as a garden note rather than a catalog.
A garden note, not a promise that a plant will thrive. Look again in a week.
