My weeds are under control. My problem is grass. It creeps under the fence(along with the Oregon grape

)and gets into the other plants. I was sick a lot last year and let it go but this year is the take-back-the-gardens year! I had to resort to Grass B Gon. It's better than it was but there is still a ways to go.

Oh yeah -- grass.

My biggest grass problem is Bermuda grass. However -- I do have a very healthy spread of quack grass growing in Iris Lane. One of my jobs in that bed is to remove all Irises in the affected section(s) so that I can spray with Round-Up. Grass sprays haven't seemed to do the job.

Well, that's sad. The GBG takes awhile to show it working. I missed a bunch of roots in the new bed and had to use it. It looks bad.

I fight Bermuda but don't think I have quack grass....... if I do I don't want to know.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
