Dadgum weeds

Category: FRED - the garden | Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2007 10:36 pm

I sure thought I would have a few months before I had to start weeding the beds again. Nooooo, these weeds have become immune to cold temps and the days of 50 -65 degree temps are contributing to their growth spurts too.

My youngest grandson wanted to take a tour of the garden this afternoon. Out of the yard he was picking dandelion flowers for me and the wishing puffs for himself. He did offer to help me pull weeds out the garden area but then got sidetracked adding sticks to his growing collection and by the puppy next door wanting some attention.

When we took them to lunch before going to the HalfPriced Book store, he found a lemon seed from the lemon Amanda had in her glass of iced tea and brought it to me so I could plant it. I need to get a pretty pot and next Tuesday evening when they are over for a while he and I will plant it.......and hope it grows. Think I will buy a lemon at the store and plant several seeds so we might have a better chance of one sprouting.

It is supposed to be rainy both Wed and Thurs, but maybe I can get out back for a while and get caught up out there.

No rest for gardeners. *lol*

Keeping my fingers crossed for your grandson's little lemon,
but I like your insurance plan. *wink*

Toni even here in Scotland the weeds seem to be doing just fine and growing well. I don't usually have to weed until about February but I've never actually stopped!!!

I hope the lemon seed sprouts for your youngest grandson. You must show us piccies of it if it does grow.

Toni, if you had a nice glass house like ZZP's, your lemon would grow just fine. Isn't there someone who lives very close to you who is very very handy?

Oh, yes, he is already on the search for glass doors. There were two offered on the freecycle list he is a member of but I don't think he was chosen as the recipient.
And he is going to post a Wanted for them on the rEcycle list.

Our weeds are doing just fine too. Actually, my grass could stand a good cutting, if it weren't so wet.

I want a glass house too, see what you have started ZZP<

Oops, I posted under Richard again. I want the glass house, he has to build it.

Children have such great little minds. I'm awe struck by my little ones daily. Good idea about the extra lemon seeds, his little heart would be broken if the one didn't sprout!
Oh our weeds are also doing good. Urghhhh!!
