weed, we'd

Weed or weed means a wild plant growing in a garden, or someplace it isn't wanted --
Is this a flower or a weed?
This weed must have grown here overnight.

Weed also means to remove unwanted wild plants from a lawn or garden --
I'll have to weed the garden tomorrow; it looks awful.

Weed is also a slang term for marijuana --
Weed may become legal in our state soon.

We'd or we'd ( rhymes with weed ) is a contraction ( short, informal form) of "we had" or "we would" --
We'd better get going; it's starting to rain.
We'd like extra cheese on that, please.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"Grandpa could still mow the lawn and weed the garden, if we'd help him sometimes."
