. . . day two of the annual Spring Mow-a-thon and I wish somebody would explain to me, in a way that makes sense, why I thought it was a good thing to have yard that's over 1/3 acre. There's a weed back there that's actually taller than me. We'd lose Jenni if she went back there.
Last year my yard was overrun by clover. This year it's oxalis, which is at least prettier than clover - but still a weed.
Maybe a goat to go with the panda?
And my rototiller decided to out spinning. *scowl*
*scowl*
*scowl*
And I hate puncture vines, which have cropped up in four different large patches in my yard.
*scowl*
Benny the landscaper stopped by earlier & he's going to come tomorrow, seed & fertilize the lawn, & nuke the oxalis in the front yard. Mom won't let him put down chemicals in the back because of the dog (and - hello! *I* spend a lot of time out there, too!), so it looks like I'm gonna have to keep digging. He says we need to get a tree guy in for the bamboo, though.
I need a landscaper. Someone who will make my yard drain into the new neighbor's out in back (they've been throwing their cigarette butts in my yard. I am not amused.) If they don't watch it next year I'd going to put a big mosquito pond out there (it's a block from my actual house. I'll plant cintronella in between.)
Good luck with the bamboo. I remember how it took over the canal by our house when I was a kid.
