It is much easier to see the weeds, and if you get rid of them while they are small, it's nice and easy.<br />However, the recent winds have deposited somewhere around 50 tumbleweeds (yes, 50) that are at least as tall as me right over the fence into my lawn. I am tempted to burn them where they sit, to avoid the billions of seeds ready to drop the second I touch one.<br /><br />I do have a question regarding the "weeds" you battle, Alan. Mainly violets and strawberries, right? Do they bloom, produce berries, or just resemble strawberry or violet plants?JiffyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909490019243009078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-66982067706646947642011-02-23T08:51:36.513-06:002011-02-23T08:51:36.513-06:00I tell you, desert gardeners have it much easier. ...I tell you, desert gardeners have it much easier. Far fewer weeds out here!!! <br /><br />In our yard, weeds are popping up everywhere, especially oxalis, the bane of my existence.
