Re: revelation

You might try buying the generic--glyphosate [I think that spelling is correct]--at a farm supply. It's about one-fifth the cost.

Speaking of roundup!

Since I have had my fill of weeding already, I decided
to buy some for open areas that need to be dealt with.
 What happened to just regular roundup- now they have
a zillion and one kinds out there. Ones that work in
rain? super strength- fancy pumpers that you don't
have to squeeze a million times, and pre-mix-
concentrated versions... geesh.

Anyways, tomorrow I will be whining here - John got
home early and decided to help.... he was spraying
roundup for hours.... wonder how many plants I will
loose?

I'll be fighting grass for a long time since I let

it get so out of

control
in the vegetable garden last year. I tried that

supposedly selective

grass
herbicide one year, just a small spot in my

ornamental garden, to see

if it
would work...killed off everything in the area

except the grass. The

corn
gluten meal worked to a very limited extent, and

you have to keep

applying
it. So it's hand-pulling from now on. What else

would I do with my

time.

It's not the few I am worried about, but when you
can't see the flowers for the weeds is another

matter!

You are right, when I was the only one living

around

here with bare (read weed filled) land around me,

it

was worse.

Also think some of it is due to the birds and

other

critters that travel thru.... I have a bunch of
sunflowers planted in the strangest places about

to

bloom... I know I didn't plant them there! (or
anywhere for that matter)

Well I must be doing something wrong.... cause

there

are forever weeds here. I sear for every one I

pull

out, a dozen sprout the next day. sigh.

planting keeps them at a

Thanks Zem, I just added one more photo.  A

view

from the street of the
front bed showing the path to the backyard

mentioned

in a previous roof
photo.  I couldn't get this area from the roof
because of the 2 dogwoods.
the straight lines with landscape timbers are

the

places I planted the
border of Lancaster Geraniums and the curved

area

under the right dogwood is
planted with Russian stonecrop, Sedum

kamtschaticum,

which is in flower now.
See that pic here:  http://hort.net/+13no

It's back in business.
Here are some photos from my roof.  Can't

see

much of anything in

backyard; almost all of this is the south

and

east sides.

Yahoo will get it's act together again.

One of my other groups is starting the

in



getting messages to just post to the site,



longer to
