Right now I have Canadian Thistle in the south garden and I have even though poured brush killer straight out of the bottle on it
while that stem dies it just keeps moving farther north.
Now it is in the lawn along the alley that borders the garden to the west.
I hate to say it but this spring I am going to have spray some better than average weed killer on that part of the garden and lawn as the thistle, creeping Charlie and quack grass has become more than just an annoyance.
I had some weed killer that I got out of my late grandfathers shed, which was thirty plus years that worked very well but that is gone now and the new stuff just does not work as well without screwing up the peonies planted there.
I dread the thought but I may have to dig up and replant the whole row of peonies there as the weeds are in the roots and some just are not doing well as they should .
One old tree peony is getting worse every year.
They are on a hill and I think I may have to put in a rail road tie border on the garden so I can raise the soil five or more inches and plant them more or less level.
Plus I will no longer be fighting quack grass and creeping Charlie on the garden edge.
