1- Yesterday I chopped this lovely looking plant- down to the roots. Even with long sleeves and gloves, this nasty little devil still managed to scrap my arms and find it's way up my pant legs.
2- Today I dug out two of the four clumps. They were anchored by thick roots and were about twenty pounds each plant. After a half hour battle- they sucumbed to me.. the victor.
3-It tuckered me out. That and the yapping little darling dogs next door. Let me go off on a tangent here. Our Neighbors must be directly related to Noah. I think they are stocking animals for the ark over there. They have seven cats, hundreds of fish and if that wasn't enough- they added one dog.. then two... then three and now its a pack of seven small, yapping little barkers. They are pretty destructive too. When left to their own devices they have found plenty of mischief to get into on their own. They've ripped up all their cushions, stuffed animals, worn out their grass to the bare dirt, knocked down the gate and essentially destroyed their entire back yard. I can't wait unti lthe summer when I'm out back and get to enjoy thier non-stop baring...Next.
4- Tomorrow I'll conquer the last two clumps. I'm saving the big nasty, mother-of-all-sawgrass until last. This one spawned all the others.
5- Actually our animal loving neighbors have some of these nasty plants in their yard and were nice enough to share them with us. I mistakenly thought it was an iris that was planted in that area. But like in Jack and the Beanstalk, I woke up one morning and there it was bigger than life.
I Will Prevail!
