Why must there be Morning Glory and Creeping Charlie absolutely everywhere, and who decided that the things that are the easiest to grow are the things we don't want in our yard?
After more than two years, we finally have some grass growing in our yard! From a distance, when it has been freshly mowed, one might think that we have a fairly lush lawn. However, at closer glance one can see that a majority of what is green are weeds. They relentlessly creep their way throughout our yard, spewing their ugly vines into my flower beds. They thrive under the leaves of my veggie plants and reproduce at an obscene rate. I pull them, Preen them, hoe them and blast them with Roundup, yet they always return in greater volume than before. I know that it will be years before I make any real headway in this weed war.
Adam and I visited Ace the other day to pick up some supplies and noticed that there were flower seed packets for sale at the checkout stand. There I saw, to my amazement, prominently displayed on the top of the pile, a packet of Morning Glory seeds! Here I am trying to get rid of the awful stuff, and there are people out there who actually plant it on purpose?! Really?! People, take my advice. If you know what's good for you, never buy those seeds!
