This is the point in the summer when the grass stops growing and the weeds go crazy. This is a over simplification of what my backyard looked like last night.
Oh yes, very nice, maybe I will pull some weeds, I thought. I went to pull the first one and this is what happened…
This thick, bark covered network of roots lifted out taking all the rest of the weeds with it. I am only slightly exaggerating! It did break in a few places but these weeds were all connected and just an inch or so from the surface.
This weed could take over the world and you wouldn’t know it until it was too late! It would make a great scary movie. Are you listening Steven Spielberg?!



Wow! I’ve heard that dandelions can regrow if you leave even the tiniest piece of them behind…
I am probably not finished with this foe yet!
Reinforcing why I like to plant but not weed.

Normally I don’t like weeding either – but I became a little obsessive with this one. And some others that were tall and easy to pull.
We grow some of the finest weeds this side of the Mississippi River. And the occasional tomato.

Too funny!!
Thanks!
: ) Shucks, I thought I won the prize with this one!
I like the feeling of weeding clover. You have to puzzle out the main stem but when you pull it out, you get whole networks of clover. Did the rest of the weeds come out with that invasive root?
I am the only one who weeds at my house which is no fun!

My daughter helped a little.
I got a lot of it but I think that’s what it wants me to think…
Fun way to illustrate it! My lawn is crunchy as we had no rain for quite some time, so the weeds are fairly ok this year. The grass on the other hand…ugh.
Thanks Winnie! My grass is pretty crunchy too – funny how my weeds don’t mind it dry.
CUTE FUNNY VIDEO AND POST. THANKS FOR THE SMILES AND CHUCKLES.
Thanks, glad you liked it : )
