But, I did notice I will have some purslane to pick this weekend. :-)

ours is just starting to show up.


And I dumped two gallons of high test vinegar (20%) on the weeds, so
the tide has turned on them! The ones I sprayed look really pathetic.
Chuckle. The dandelions will be the last and hardest to kill. I
hope I don't have to dig every last on up with my axe!

they're breaking up that soil for you.
some people eat the greens or make coffee
substitute from the roasted roots. can't
say i've tried either of them. worms like
'em after i leave them to dry on the surface
for a few days/week.


Be careful posting this stuff. Folks may show up for dinner! :-)

Definition of a small town: when you visit your neighbors, you
have to lock your car doors, otherwise you will wind up with
a back seat full of zucchini.

My neighbors have no fear from me, black thumb and all. I hope
to turn the tide this year with my holes as pots, peat moss,
and weeds at the bottom of the holes. You know, there is a
certain enjoyment stuffing weeds down holes.

for sure! some i have to bury deeply enough and put a layer
or two of cardboard or craft paper or newspaper over them to
keep them from coming back up too easily. i had a whole
five gallon bucket of old onions and garlic that needed to be
buried the other day. prime worm food...
