I wish! A nice 8' tall fence on both sides would be nice.

Mine is 7ft. g 12" stone and 6' wood.

They deliberately killed my grape vines...
I'm trying to come up with a good fence vine that is roundup resistant.

Maybe the Dept. Of Ag where you live can suggest something resistant to
RoundUp.

Local extension office...

Good idea, thanks!

I believe roundup is a systemic herbicide. If your plants were
healthy to begin with, you could take a few and try removing the new
growth - pinch back. Kind of like sucking the venom from a snakebite
(OK, I think that's just Hollywood, but the principle is the same).
Only if you leave it go, you're too late. The stuff works it's way to
the roots and then kills the plant.

Or maybe there was something else going on, and they wilted from too
much sun, just coincidence neighbors. I do know one thing, if I
had even slightly misted my 'mater plants with roundup, they'd be
dead. Karma is a real.. you know.

That's why I'm graduating to a flamer this year. Could be fun if I
don't blow myself up.

Flame on!

I've considered one of those! Where do you get them?
Are they legal everywhere?

Om, you get them at the hardware store. They're called a "weed burner."
You use propane to fuel them. They're kind of expensive.

We use them for everything but flame killing weeds here...

Mostly the SO uses ours (we have several) to pre-heat our diesel farm
tractors and bulldozers in the winter, so they'll start. It's not a
trick for the faint of heart, as the oil & grease on heavy equipment
will light on fire readily, so you have to be prepared to put the fire
out.

I have used our weed burner to burn the dried weeds/grass off a garden
plot in the spring. Timing is critical -- it's got to be exactly the day
the grass dries out enough to burn, but before the whole neighborhood is
dried-out, so I don't start a forest fire.

We have a big hemp nettle infestation down on the ranch, but I was told
to not flame kill it. It's in the loafing area where our cows hang out
all winter, so the soil is real heavy in organics, which will catch fire
like crazy, once it dries out.

I was mostly interested in burning out green weeds in my gravel
driveway. It's a bitch to weed. g I don't like to use roundup because
my herb garden is next to the driveway and I have border plants I don't
want to damage with any drift.

I normally just attack them with the weed eater and mow them all the way
to the ground.

Does it work on your newsreader?

It doesn't on mine.

when you see text on the next line in an email where a link has been
placed, you need to copy and paste both parts or ever how many lines,
starting with the 1st.

Works every time.

Something that works for me, using Agent, is to open a reply window
and simply backspace the wrapped part of the url back into place
then
click it. Don't send the reply, of course. ;-)

Don't know how this would work on other readers.

Works with Outlook Express also, but it's less key stroke to just copy
and paste.

Only if I it, but even then, I have to copy/paste into Firefox from
MT newswatcher. I can't just click on it.

The other way, I have to paste it into a textfile, fix it, then
copy/paste. ;-)

Mine does not. It's a two step process, but your link was worth the
effort. :-)

I must be missing something. I copy from my newsreader and paste into
Firefox. The link worked fine for me.

I ended up with a space in it using MT newswatcher.

But, I drive a MAC. ;-)

It was not hard to fix.

Thanks for the suggestion.

My newsreader (an old one but I keep it because it doesn't do some of
the things new newsreaders do and _does_ have an extensive filter set)
_has_ a "Fix Url" function which sorts it all out.

What the newsreader doesn't do, is automagically fix urls or treat urls
that are enclosed in as a complete entity..

Thats amusing. :-) Mine does just the opposite!

Gotta love computers!

Hey, I've that one in my quotes file also! I like it.

Had the season's first radish and bread and butter sammy!!!

French Breakfast Raddies.

I put the tops on it also and it was......Yummo! ;-)

This is the first year I have ever eaten tops. I need to thin them and
am going to follow your suggestion of litely steaming them, tops and
bottoms.

Radish tops can also be used in salads, as I found out last year when
about all there was to my radishes was tops.
