:) yes, grasses get me too. some of them bloom here even in the winter if it is nice enough outside. i just pulled some of them out of the edge of a garden where they were growing like weeds and they already had developed seeds on them... the more regular grasses seem to bloom about the same...

and that sure does come down thick too. there are a lot of trees around (and some i react to). the maple is the one that seems to get me the worst. there's one right along the north hedge and most years when i'm out in the gardens and it is pollinating my nose is running like a faucet. when...

pretty much you've guessed about as well as i would. :)

yesterday was another warm enough day to be outside getting some more weeding done. also thinned out some plants to let the light in for the groundcover. last night's forecast of rain actually did happen with more chances today and early evening. then we're maybe clear for rains until...

my legs are sore but it's the good kind of sore that reminds you that you did something for a change.

unfortunately i have to, lilacs are really bad for me, almost all other flowering plants can be suspect, so i have to verify first. lavender is also not the best for me but i can at least tolerate small doses of it. right now the daffodils are the strongest scented flower out there that i have...

another beautiful day and some i could garden. :)

i did get some gardening in today. beautiful weather. glad to be outside. :)

right, they can get through some smaller gaps and chicken wire up 18 inches isn't going to keep them out if they already know there are yummy eats in there.

they are so beautiful and so many varieties. :) you may find that after the flower finishes (cut it off right at the top near the petals, but leave all the leaves alone as much as possible) that when reforming the bulb and flower for the next year that there will be little bulblets also...

yeah, they can be a real challenge to deter or remove. what kind of fencing do you have?

i have at times fed grass clods through the worm farm buckets... :)

not if they get too hot and too dry too fast. my experience with TF is that once you have an infected bulb/plant that you will not easily rescue it. i tried with several hundred bulbs and had some small success but never recovered enough or ever could eradicate it. to improve conditions...

we bounce around from thread to thread like little lost lambs... seeking nibbles... :)

i edit larger messages without the bbcode turned on - i also edit without spelling correction. it would take me way too long to get anyplace if i had that turned on...
