What did you do in the garden today?

Just talked to DH about a garden weed torch. He said yeah but make sure not right up against wood bldg & always do a 30 min fire watch after finishing as something could smolder. He knows I'm talking about the darn nutsedge balls, clumps of them so thick you can see them right there at the top of the ground! Yup, I will need to be careful, but I sure do want to try it.

You'll love it, no chemicals! Just remember you don't have to completely torch it, just hit it with the heat & it will die off in a couple days. It's worked wonders on the crabgrass that grows in our gravel driveway.

So, you're saying you're the new ground zero for the southern luffa invasion, akin to kudzu. Noted.

Yes but better! I use the loofah to clean w - in coop and house. Kudzu is totally useless to me

Luffa is invasive?? I have to BEG it to grow here!

Oh, please, grow, little vine! Please flower, please make a gourd, please grow the gourd big enough to make a sponge-thingie before frost.

All plants are in the ground. I will have time to bake a loaf of bread tomorrow.


Some time in the not-too-distant future, I'll wash and clean all the pots and store them for next year.

I turned a hard to mow area into poultry yard a few years ago. I noticed the next year only a couple ragweed and no cleavers or burdock. None of those the last few years..in that area, everywhere else it is growing. I have seen the turkeys eating the ragweed seeds. Snakeweed is taking over though.

This is the variety. I guess when they say needs a hotbed to start, that’s my whole area really. It says edible, but they were bitter to us

I up-potted lettuce seedlings into the other end of that coffee pot box I used for my marigolds yesterday.
