I'm talking about these weeds
'Weeds are my worst enemy!' I remember some gardenening bloke make that statement on an ad when i was a kid. And every time i saw it i remember laughing thinking how ridiculous that was. How could something so harmless and small be someones worst enemy? Of course when you're young, gardening is the last thing on your mind, it was a mum and dad thing and you assumed that they enjoyed it since they were out there almost every weekend. How wrong was i?
And where do they all come from? I know, people say the birds drop seeds everywhere, but i don't understand where birds go to provide me with a different strain of weed every 2 weeks. I guess i should consider getting rid of my 2 bird baths, maybe i'm just encouraging them. Whatever the reason, while i've tried some methods to keep them at bay, weedmats, newspaper, regular weedspraying, they seem to come back with a vengeance, more resilient that ever. Perhaps my only course of action is to concrete completely around my house. It seems a bit extreme, and not exactly aesthetically pleasing, but it would give me more time to indulge in other activities.
I'm not talking about this weed!
