~ Weeds, Weeds, Weeds ~ They're everywhere! What to do? Weeds in the landscape are easy to control. "Round-Up Pro" will kill weeds in your beds quite well. It will kill your plants and shrubs, too, so spray it on a wind-free day! It's available at most hardware and garden centers. If your weeds are over 6" tall, (shame on you) you will need to take a string weed trimmer and cut them in half, first. Round-Up only works when weeds are actively growing, and cutting them in half will stimulate growth. When they turn completely brown, string trim them down to the ground. Does Scott's fertilizer with weed killer work for lawn weeds? Yes. Wet your lawn down with sprinklers before spreading so the granules desolve on the weed leafs a little. This will really speed things up. For crab grass, you need to use a 'pre-emergent'. It's too late for most areas, as once the crab grass is up, your stuck with it. Get the 'pre-emergent' down sooner, next year. Crab grass is not much of a problem if you've a thick lawn. It needs the sunlight on the soil to germinate the crabgrass seeds. What can be done about "Quack" grass? Nothing! But like crab grass, a healthy thick lawn will gradually push the quack out. Fertilizer and water are the best offense and defense. ~ Questions ~ Q: What do you get when you cross a dinosuar with a pig? A: Jurassic pork! Q. If there's H2O on the inside of a fire hydrant, what's on the outside? A. K9P A husband and wife were golfing when suddenly the woman asked, "Honey, if I died would you get married again?" The man said, "No dear." The woman said, "I'm sure you would." So the man said, "Okay, I would" Then the woman asked, "Would you let her sleep in our bed?" And the man replied, "Ya, I guess so." Then the woman asked, "Would you let her use my golf clubs?" And the man replied, "No, she's left handed." And as promised, here's our Holiday Joke:
Vow of Silence
At a remote monastery deep in the woods, the monks
followed a rigid vow of silence. This vow could only
be
broken once a year on Christmas, by one monk, and the
monk could speak only one sentence.
One Christmas, Brother Thomas had his turn to speak and
said, "I love the delightful mashed potatoes we have
every
year with the Christmas roast!" Then he sat down.
Silence ensued for 365 days.
The next Christmas, Brother Michael got his turn, and said,
"I think the mashed potatoes are lumpy and I truly
despise them!"
Once again, silence ensued for 365 days.
The following Christmas, Brother Paul rose and said,
"I am fed up with this constant bickering!"
