7/16/2020 0 Comments Weeds, What more can you saySo we have won the bunny battle, for the most part. Sprinkling chili powder over the plants on a regular basis (especially after rain) is winning I think. I spend a lot of time sprinkling chili powder. Unfortunately we did loose some plants to the bunnies - all the milkweed and the black-eyed susans are gone. I think the cone flowers will survive but only time will tell. But that's not the real reason for the post. It's the time of year to deal with weeds. Yup, weeds. There's not much else to say. All that glorious rain also sprouted all the weeds and there are a lot of them. Unfortunately the weed battle is continuous and you can only win by getting in the garden and pulling them out. It's a lot of work. All I can say is wait till the weeds are good sized, that may mean there are a lot more, but it's easier to pull weeds when you can grab a fist full rather than pinching. Of course if things are as bad in your garden as they are in the library's, (cursed crab grass) a trowel or garden rake is the only way to go. So if anyone wants to stop by the library and help us pull weeds, we'd be more than grateful. Any takers? Anyone? Please!
