My new gardening motto:
"One Gardener's Weed Is Another Gardener's Groundcover"
Or tree, just sayin'...
A few years ago, I had to cut down a redbud that was slowly dying. If I did not thin them out, I would have a Red Bud forest instead of a lawn. There is an area between the edge of the deck in the corner of the house that is landscape fabric covered by landscape rock. I let trees grow there until they are about 2 feet tall, then when I pull them out the roots (which grow on top of the landscape fabric) come out no digging necessary. I can then re-plant the tree elsewhere.
I was just trying to explain to my youngest that a weed is just a plant that is growing were you don't want it.
Yes, tell your son that a weed is like the hair growing out of grandpa's ears. It is hair just like what is growing on the top of your head, it is just growing from a place where no one wants to see it grow. ?
My gardening motto is
Got Milkweed?
I think you should propose that motto for the "Monarch Butterflies and Other Pollinators" group. It's a keeper!
β¦ And maybe for a mascot, you could take a close-up of a caterpillar with a "milkweed mustache."
Yes, they are growing around my starw bale garden. I am not disturbing the plants to encourage the butterfly.
@Spinliesel
Good for you Thank you for caring and doing your part to bring back the Monarch and it's habitat.
The war against weeds will never be won in my garden . I need a smaller garden .
That is blasphemy!! Gardens should never get smaller! Just wilder.
@HippieChick58 I'm not getting any younger . I will endeavor to persevere .
Like people?
@MikeEC LOL!! Yeah, pretty much!
@HippieChick58 ,
Shouldn't that be "wider" like people. ; )
