Dandelion Slayer
1 Jun
We’ve been preparing the garden and doing our own form of early summer weed whacking. Doug is our resident Zen master dandelion slayer, bending over good portions of the day to pull them by hand from the yard. If it were up to me they’d probably take over the yard, but Doug is persistent.
Doug's dead dandelion pile
Early summer around here is a magnificent party, where the lilacs and apple blossom fragrance fills the air, and the mountains shine with snow on top of velvet green. It makes me want to write poetry. Instead, I soak up the fresh rain, putter in our garden, and root for Doug against the dandelions. May it always be thus.
Wow hats off to your persistent husband. Our yard looks like a meadow there are some many things growing in it. Could I rent Doug for a while? I'll fly you out, we'll go hiking and Doug can weed.
He's available.
That'd be fun!
You know they make some pretty cool tools that allow you to dig up weeds without bending over! Kudos to Doug for his ambition. You can borrow my kids…they are trained to pick every dandelion in the yard.
