Weed of the week - horsetail

My garden is full of weeds.

Some are liked, some are not.

I know, there are people, who thinks, 

that any plant growing where it shouldn't be, is weed.

I don't feel that way.

But even I have some plants I cannot stand all over.

I am not sure if horsetail is one of them.

Horsetail is a fun looking weed.

When I was a child, 

we imagined with my friend,

that early spring horsetails are growing snakes...

Even though we already then knew,

they aren't,

I still get shivers around them.

Their roots are sly.

They are brown or even black

- and s they are hard to see.

And to boot, they look like dead:

During the early summer they grow

and soon they looks like trees of fairies:

If I would have household silver,

I would pick them and polish my silver bright.

I haven't, so I just weed them.

If I don't have better things to do.
