  1. weeds

    Weeds are generally defined as plants that are considered undesirable, unwanted, or troublesome, especially in a particular location or context such as agriculture and gardening. These are the plants growing where they are not wanted, often competing with domesticated plants for resources, or disturbing the aesthetics of a lawn or landscape. They can be native or non-native, invasive species, and may have a negative impact on the environment, economy, or human health.

  1. Weeds

    Weeds is an American dark comedy-drama series created by Jenji Kohan and produced by Tilted Productions in association with Lionsgate Television. The central character is Nancy Botwin, a widowed mother of two boys who begins selling marijuana to support her family after her husband dies suddenly of a heart attack. Over the course of the show, she and her family become increasingly entangled in illegal activities. The first three seasons take place primarily in the fictional town of Agrestic, California. During seasons four and five, the Botwins reside in the fictional beach side town of Ren Mar in San Diego County, California. In the sixth season, the family relocates to Seattle, Washington, and then Dearborn, Michigan. In between seasons six and seven, Nancy serves a prison sentence in Connecticut while her sons and brother-in-law live in Copenhagen, Denmark. At the beginning of season seven, Nancy moves into a halfway house in New York City where she reunites with her family. They live in Manhattan for the duration of the season, but relocate to Connecticut in the season seven finale and throughout season eight. The show debuted on the Showtime cable network on August 7, 2005, earning the channel's highest ratings. The series ended with the eighth season on September 16, 2012. In 2012, TV Guide Network bought the airing rights, providing an edited version of the show free of charge. The show has received numerous awards, including two Satellite Awards, one Golden Globe Award, a Writers Guild of America Award, a Young Artist Award, and 2 Emmy Awards.
