I resisted for awhile, but now, I can’t get enough, and there is an entire section just dedicated to gardening.

I was perusing and found a ‘Top 30 Weed Identifier’ – WOW! I have seen just about all of them at the garden this summer! There is one, the bane of my existence, that grows through the weedblock, and sticks you even through garden gloves. I’m constantly removing it, and I had no idea what is was. UNTIL NOW!

the DEVIL

 

This is Canadian Thistle. It is terrible. It’s a perennial herb, and the root system gets everywhere, which explains why it keeps coming back after pulling, and even through the weedblock. We need to dig a little deeper for those roots, and maybe next year we will see the end of them!

Weeds, why must you grow so well? http://herbthis.com/?p=461 http://herbthis.com/?p=461#comments Sun, 03 Jun 2012 10:00:55 +0000 Sheryl http://herbthis.com/?p=461 Yup, that’s a whine. The weeds are getting out of control (at the garden, at the house, everywhere), and unfortunately, I can’t do anything about them just yet due to restrictions from the doc. Maybe in another 2 weeks. At least my husband promised to tackle the entire property with me once I’m feeling better, and once we de-weed, we need to apply MULCH, MULCH, MULCH, so this stops happening. I haven’t really wanted to take pics showcasing large sections of the yard /garden because it is so overgrown. Ugh.

OK, I’m done complaining now.
