It looks like the burmuda is still at bay. There is almost nothing more evil in the garden than burmuda grass (except perhaps rodents), I am SO grateful that I don't have THAT pest to deal with too. <br /><br />Did you know that one cubic yard of soil weighs about a ton? I shoveled 5 or 6 tons of the stuff today... sh** I'm tired.Michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-72778843088107553312011-03-12T12:48:51.403-08:002011-03-12T12:48:51.403-08:00I'm glad I'm out here in the middle of the...I'm glad I'm out here in the middle of the continent where you can't reach me after I type this. My Dad grows bermuda grass on purpose. Loves it to death. Covers every bare patch of our "lawn" with little seedlings that he sprouts in random containers all over the porch. Yes. I didn't know, until I read your blog, that everyone didn't worship the bermuda enough to have an altar on their porch. (Next to the deep freeze, office chair, and mini beer fridge that comprise my dad's office now that he's retired and a full-time Bermuda Farmer.) Don't hate me!<br /><br />word confirmation: ashyrdro as in "Finny's not a shrydro--she tells us all kinds of embarrassing things, mostly including her ass."okgirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-65491310195835640272011-03-10T05:26:26.441-08:002011-03-10T05:26:26.441-08:00You invoked the line, so you'd better bet I...You invoked the line, so you'd better bet I'm listening. All while I sit down and rest for you -- that's a WHOLE LOTTA work! We can't even think about getting out in our yard yet -- and really I don't want to think about it. Lotsa work this year -- methinks we need a Finny to helup us along. Oh, and I would invoke the line with hubby, but that term is so commonplace around here he just ignores me!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-55202470490702855412011-03-10T03:52:05.922-08:002011-03-10T03:52:05.922-08:00We don't have Bermuda grass here.

We have every OTHER fucking thing, including burdocks and whatever that goddamn weed was that totally took over the garden last year and then seeded before I could get it out so God knows how I'm going to destroy it this year. But no Bermuda grass. So that's a positive, I guess.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-31549944754961393932011-03-09T21:30:48.576-08:002011-03-09T21:30:48.576-08:00Funny, I spent this weekend aerating and over-re-s...Funny, I spent this weekend aerating and over-re-seeding Bermudagrass into ~5 of 7 acres. Even with its weedy take-over-the-world nature it sometimes gets thin or weeds overtake in places.<br /><br />Don't kill me, I'm way over here on the other coast.Galadrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03383321455657803304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-62638665845538538042011-03-09T20:19:55.783-08:002011-03-09T20:19:55.783-08:00LOL Sarah!

I've dug it out of the front yard and took the clumps and threw them in the field across the street. One section at a time. I still have the stuff popping up here and there but I have fields all around me so I'm sure I'll never get rid of it entirely. The bark in the flower beds has definitely helped to keep it down though.<br /><br />And how cool that you are writing for the paper!Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827476441219850741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-26624997239485310322011-03-09T19:50:30.021-08:002011-03-09T19:50:30.021-08:00oh peckerhead. Fun fact- when I was in 6th grade I...oh peckerhead. Fun fact- when I was in 6th grade I once saw my dad marching up the front walk of school. A few minutes later I see him talking.. very sternly.. to my brother, who he hauled out of class. Later on I found out that Travis called a girl a peckerhead in front of the class and my dad made him apologize to her AND the class.. while standing in front of the class. Travis, to this day, insists peckerhead was a spelling word and he was using it in a sentence for practice. The guy is going to be 27 this year and STILL believs that. <br /><br />And my yard has no grass. It's all prickly weeds and dandelion.Sara Strandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641499434694637445noreply@blogger.com
