Not well at all. I fought the weeds and the weeds won! Time to take out the heavy artillery ~ rake, hoe, and a thing called a weed-whacker! I am keeping busy by saying 'Hi Leslie' to all the passers by!

[lbenmaor in reply to carolek572]

The fact that you're doing it is great. Tell the weeds I said they need to behave the way they should!

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to lbenmaor]

The weeds are intimidating! Some can almost have bird nests in them!

[goatgal in reply to carolek572]

There are some similar weeds on my place. They popped up almost overnight, tall gangly things, soon to reseed if they aren't cut down. They are too tough for my string trimmer, so I'll have to get the pruning shears and hand saws. But until we have a frost or two, I'm loathe to deal with the ticks and whatever else has taken up residence so I probably will wait as long as possible.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to goatgal]

That's what I told myself. I will wait for the frost, then I will bring in the green cement!

My philosophy, weeds are green. Think impressionistic paintings. They should be appreciated from afar. Therefore, weeds are green. From afar they look like a grassy lawn 😊

Of course it’s a different story if they are choking out flower beds etc 🙁

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to erash]

I will think of them as an extension to my impressionistic brown lawn! They are the only things that are green on my 'front lawn'

[lbenmaor in reply to carolek572]

It's a good thing you have something green on your lawn.

Very clever erash. I agree.

Weeds are all done ✅ The grass guy came afterwards last week and sprayed and fertilizer down👍. Good for a month or so as I water 💦 with canal water. It’s $100.00 a year so lots, lots better than paying for city water. 👍🙏😉 Ken 🐾🐾

You can’t ask for better than that. $100 per year.😋😁😊.

Leslie I have this pretty purple flower came up by my rose bush I was guarding it, watering it along with my rose bush. I also have some yellow tomatoes growing there ... my hubby pulled it up & got rid of it when he mowed Sat afternoon. He said it was an "iron weed" & they are trying to take over his hay field!! I was mad at first then hey I can grow weeds

[lbenmaor in reply to kycmary]

Sounds good to me.
