Okay, now I’m mad
You remember those weeds I was so diligently vinegaring a couple of months back? Y’know, the ones I mowed? Well now the little beggars are as tall as I am, which puts them just over 5 feet tall. A few can almost peek over the 6-foot fence. Clearly vinegar isn’t the nemesis I’d hoped it would be.
I tried mowing some yesterday, but that was a pointless exercise. Today I had a “THAT’S IT!!!” moment and laced them with RoundUp. I will NOT be bested by a yard full of mindless weeds!
Here’s what they looked like before I snapped; I’ll update later on whether it worked or not:
Sparrow and Sounder wonder if anything’s lurking in there.
Yes, I’ve also noticed that while vinegar kills the plant, it doesn’t get to the root. Darn. Apparently when I was pulling them out and THOUGHT I was getting the roots, I wasn’t. Mine are all back too, they took happy advantage of my time out of town.

I’ve found that when it kills something (like thistle) it does a wonderfully thorough job. However, there are ones that it doesn’t even touch, like these guys, that just keep growing and growing and growing…..
