Weeds popping up through my crushed rock are about a foot tall. Fortunately the Javelina find them tasty, so I'm counting on them to take care of it.

Oh good Lord Almighty, have we got weeds up here! Most of them have flowers. The only thing we can do is embrace them! Almost immediately after we see green grass showing, the entire yard turns to a bright, cheerful yellow...DANDELIONS! Then after the dandelions comes the daisies....daisies everywhere... Even the dirt driveway, in every garden around the house edge and even in the middle of the lawn...then of course the clover with white pom poms, and then these wild beach roses...you can not kill them...they smell great but they decide where they are going to live...and that's that, by rock boulders, in the lawn under trees, you can mow over them and a month later it is back there....Weeds popping up through my crushed rock are about a foot tall.

I totally agree on weed sprays! The houses in my area have 1 to 2 acre lots so it's a mixed bag of sprayers and non-sprayers. I don't understand why people still use Round-Up after all the lawsuits. I never put up a fence because we enjoy seeing the wildlife mosey into the yard and munch on whatever is growing at the time.Oh good Lord Almighty, have we got weeds up here!

When we lived in Massachusetts, in a suburb, all us neighbors competed for the best yard and gardens... The hubby used some Scott's product to kill the dandelions and green the lawn......
Up here in Maine around where we live, we just have to embrace the weeds and see the beauty in them! We don't want to use poisons that might harm the animal friends we have who eat the weeds!
The only thing sweeter than that would be a cocker spaniel puppy.

we still have snow! lolI may be pulling out the snowblower tomorrow night depending on how the storm hits. Expect about a foot here with over 18" in northern MN.
Mowing seems a long way off again. It was in the sixties a few days ago.
March is crazy weather here.
We got that big snow.we still have snow! lol
