Garden update, after a hiatus
Me: *turns back on garden for half a minute*
Rain: *falls for ten days*
Me: *glares at rain*
Rain: *stops, albeit grudgingly*
Garden: *sprouts virgin rainforest of weeds overnight*
Me: *arms self with garden tools*
Weeds: "Aieeee!"
Me: *starts weeding determinedly*
Very Large Weed Tree: "Ack! NO! STOP! I'm not a weed! I'm a... uh... decorative vine. Yeah, that's it. A decorative vine. You totally don't want to uproot me."
Me: "Oh yeah? You look awfully like a weed tree to me."
VLWT: "No no no. I can't be a weed tree. See how I'm growing horizontally and not vertically? Totally a vine. Put the trowel down."
Me: "So if you're a vine, how come you're growing under the porch?"
VLWT: "Uh... I like the shade. Yeah. Shade. I'm totally not a weed tree. See how I'm all thin and stuff? I couldn't be a weed tree. If I were, then my roots would be growing right under your house... and... crap. I just gave myself away, didn't I?"
Me: "Yep." *uproots the tree*
I've just spent an hour weeding the teeny-weeny front yard. The back yard is not as badly infested, but it's about ten times as big. This ought to be interesting. At least the front yard no longer looks like a vacant lot.
Also, why is it that people feel it is appropriate to TOSS THEIR TRASH into my front yard? I'm sorry, how does a garden in any way shape or form resemble a trash can?!? GAH!
I will update on the state of the vegetables in my next post.
