Re: OT: tall weeds

From: "Mike Sutton" <suttons@lightspeed.net>

Talking about tall weeds, we have one that grows in our area.  I don't know
it's official name but if left unchecked by the end of August it reaches 20+
feet in height.  It appears to grow inches a day.  Fortunately it doesn't
have a very good root system and can be easily pulled out when the ground is
damp.  How's that for a tall weed tale.
