Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Its invasive here and growing up the house and under the siding. I cant weed whip and its in a flower bed killed everything in there.

honeysuckle

Oh.
No, we just mow to keep it where we want it. Our little joke is we don't have weeds, we have wild flowers. The bees love them and need them, and so do the humm'birds, so we have a truce with them. We tolerate them, but only to an extent. They can't completely take over. I guess the only plant I would truly do battle with is poison iak/ivy, so if your salt mixture works, let me know.

We are having a similar battle with a hummingbird (trumpet) vine, growing up the side of the house and under the eaves. RoundUp ain't doing it.

Na

Me brand of cream/lotion that doesn't contain alcohol

The only brand my skin can take without uncomfort.

best lotion ever

I agree! I have always used it. I dont use lotion often, but when I do, other brands tend to cause irritation.

We have this weed, not sure what it is, but its spiky and looks sort of like mint. Caused some rashes for my dad. It was a little itchy for me as well, but it went away soon enough.

Use gloves to cut a piece. If the stem is square in cross section, it is a member of the mint family. Could be catnip? Catnip has very soft leaves compared to mint. Could ut be stinging nettle? Look it up. Won't have the square stem, I don't think.
