The message
from "Seven" contains these words: ok, How do I motivate myself to go out and remove them weeds when it was hailstones here earlier on and is still freezing? The weeds are mostly dandelion, is it worth taking them out now or will they die with the winter frost? No, they will crouch underground doing muscle flexes and sucking in nutrients all winter, so that at the first sign of spring an almighty squat thrust will force up a huge rosette of leaves and flowerbuds. Thanks to a winter of underground fitness training every dandelion will be twice as strong healthy and floriferous as it was the previous autumn...especially those innocent little seedlings which look so weak and feeble, and can be tweaked out with a mean finger pinch. Wait for a day when the soil is damp but not soggy or frosty, and you'll find it's not too hard to prise up the larger plants with a fork slid under the rosette; the aim is to get as much unbroken root as possible.

By telling yourself that it will be even colder come Tuesday? The weeds are mostly dandelion, is it worth taking them out now No, they will still regrow. They are impossible to get rid of. Loosen the earth round them and pull them out. As long as you get the tap root out they won't come back. I scrub and dry them and when I have enough, lightly roast them and add them to ground roasted pearl barley to make a pleasant dring like a cross between Barley Cup and chickory. or will they die with the winter frost? Not a hope! No indeed. It's a perenniel weed. I use the flowers for making country wine - if I get round to it. Some of my best friends are weeds... -- Rusty Hinge horrid·squeak&zetnet·co·uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm |

I did have a few this past weekend actually, loads of hailstones and very cold here, so needed it. |
