Re: clover

I'm glad you're getting better. That had to be an experience I'd like to miss. Welcome back.

Thanks, Jim. I was out for quite a while - fell down a flight of stairs and fractured top 3 vertebrae (no four leaf clover luck there). Was touch and go for a while, but I'm alive, grateful, walking, thinking, and have my priorities in a better order. The place where they took part of a rib to tie everything back together hurt more than the neck/head surgery. Now 
I really don't want to have a screw loose.  Ha.
I've already got one acre planted with native Iowa (Carl Kurtz) prairie seed, and another acre that has been basically our own private park for a bunch of years - 4 weeping willows and 2 autumn blaze maples, lilac row, fire ring, etc. Anyone know something stronger than Roundup to take care 
of the poison ivy on the DNR property that adjoins ours?

Glad to be back.

Mardi!!! It's good to know you're finally back in the office!
Congratulations--six acres is going to be one whoop of a garden. Wow.

Anybody else a 4 leaf clover finder?  I love it when it's too wet to
mow
(like this year!) - the clover patches grow so large, I'm finding
some 4
and 5 leaf clovers that are 2 inches across!

Iowa z5, instead of 4b!  We finally moved to the 6 acres.  Moving
divisions of a 30 year old garden from mostly shade to full sun
takes some
planning and lots of work.  Theresa, will you come help me??

Gosh.... I hadn't
thought about Weed B Gone in years. Definately pick
some up for the lawn
areas. Although we do use weed and feed but not
sure why type DH bought this
year and applied.


Not sure what type of clover it is. Noticed the big
clumps in the grass
and lotsa seedlings in the flower beds. They are too tiny
to pull out
one by one, so I attempted to rough up the areas enough to get the
root
hold out of the dirt for now. Figured if 50 percent of them died off
that
way... it would be less to deal with later.

In the flower beds - all I can say is pull.

Thoughts on eradicating it?
