So, anyway... it's like every weekend I just stare at them and scream "I'm just not at all in the mood!!!"
Because you see, I have these "things" growing in my lawn. And I've tried every which way and a half to get rid of them, but these are some really heftily burrowed buggers. And not even TruGreen could help!
So I finally "Googled" them. Yes, Google is my friend. And it seems that they are Wild Violets. So how do I get rid of them? I asked 'Ask Google' timidly. And lo and behold I received an answer!...just like that!
And the answer WAS.. of all things,... "Well, You don't! Just try to enjoy the pretty purply flowers they bring each Spring. And also... they are edible and provide for a really lovely garnish."
Um OK....except not.
Anyway, I just spent a really long weekend in my yard...
So much for a bright and lucrative future in hand modeling.

Wild Violets
lol. I was actually thinking "you should just enjoy them" before I even got to the google part. I mean, look at the yards in Driggs? People have enjoyed much worse.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you have beautiful hands :)
Somehow two years of digging finally got rid of them. But as soon as they were gone the Garlic Mustard magically appeared. It's always something...
