I got one more bad filled up and topped it off with the seed heads from the poke weed. Will give me a little more time to get the stalks.
Now to get out and get some stickers and put them in the trash. You know, I do not feel good about putting those horrid thorny things in bags because they throw them in the city compost and they will probably not cook. Can't be helped. I got nasty stuff from their compost a few years ago, horrid white clover all over so I won't use their stuff any more even though it's cheap.
I ordered some wildflower seeds from this place in MN about 3 years ago. That's how I got that awful pokeweed. But I feel that I did accomplish something. There's one more nastier rose on the east side. Not sure how I'll deal with that.
I was out there swearing a couple times, not like me at all.
I'm mad at the prices people charge if you can even find somebody. I started with just an easy tree trimming job, 2 (his gf looked like a meth head) doesn't seem like they were here for 2 hours for $400 so I felt a little overcharged but a landscaping place would have charged me more. While they were here with the chipper, I did get rid of some nasty dead rose stuff out front. He would have chipped more for the $400 but I couldn't work that fast.
When I settle down and heat up some clam chowder I made, I will see what the others are doing.
Peroxide is a little miracle in a bottle. It kills all kinds of bad “bugs”. I don’t know that we have any poke weed, but we do have an increasing amount of stinging nettle, which is very painful. To remove it from the garden, I wear a long sleeved flannel shirt, leather and canvas gloves, long pants and shoes. It’s very painful when it makes contact with the skin.
It’s difficult to find anyone for a “small” job. Some of those who do that kind of work may not be reputable.
I love clam chowder. :)
