Whilst checking who originally coined the phrase about weeds merely being plants growing in the wrong place, I came across a website devoted to quotes about gardening with a whole page on weeds and weeding. Here are some of the ones that made me laugh out loud. For more weedy quotes, visit the site itself by clicking here.

Hoeing: A manual method of severing roots from stems of newly planted flowers and vegetables. (Henry Beard)
Perennials are the ones that grow like weeds, biennials are the ones that die this year instead of next and hardy annuals are the ones that never come up at all. (Katherine Whitehorn)
Give a weed an inch and it will take a yard. (Unknown)
Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone. (Dennis Breeze)
