GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME

(Tom Jones)

Another song title. Two for two.

As we had two and a half days of rain, things are seriously growing now. And my fall planting of wildflowers will now show or be DOA due to the serious drought we had this winter.

One thing that worries me is that almost the entire front of the house - from house to driveway (where grass was) is now covered in some lacy green/not grass growth. If weeds, we are in for a big crop. If wildflowers, I may have flunked the Johnny Appleseed planting school for idiots with black thumbs.

Well, wildflower or not, there's one big nasty weed that sticks out like a zit in a prom picture... and this Little Shop Of Horrors star is going to drink some Roundup before sundown tomorrow.

A neighbor is a master gardener. I will ask her to come over and hope she doesn't have a nervous breakdown on the spot.
