I absolutely love that you’re rocking that pitchfork barefoot

I actually had some help controlling johnson grass with my ducks. I'd put their little pool in a patch where I knew the roots and rhizomes were, it'd get muddy, and the ducks would root them up for me. Geese helped with the above ground parts. Of course this is good if you live where you can have ducks and geese. I'm with ya on the love as a farmer, hate as a gardener. Lol.

I have so much creeping charlie, asiatic dayflower, and bermuda grass (not to mention the kudzu I'm surrounded by).

Creeping Charlie is the bane of my existence

Hello from Boston

Funny, I just ripped out a whole bunch of creeping bellflower that's invading my garden. I found 5 echinacea that were hanging on to dear life underneath that mess.
