THE TRICKS NATURE CAN PULL ON US

Just imagine the entire floor of my garden being full of these little sprouting seedlings. My neighbor's 50' River Birch decided this would be a good year to procreate as if she is never going to get another chance.

Maybe I should just leave them there and let the garden turn into a River Birch forest...hmmm?

If I choose not to do that it seems I'm going to have to come up with a strategy of how to get rid of these unwelcome visitors.

And to think that things had been moving along so smoothly this spring in the garden. The day the tree began to drop millions of these little seeds and the wind was gently blowing my direction I thought to myself (with a laugh)....I'm screwed. Two days ago that thought became the reality you see in the pictures. Oh, and I forgot to mention all the pots are full of them also. Sweet............................

aye, you got a little work to do lol. we ourselves have a serious grass problem in one of of our flower beds and some of it is bermuda grass which is terribly irritating and spreads like wildfire. we haven't been able to get out there and do anything because of the heat. it's been in the mid to upper 90's with bad humidity. oi...

Matthew, it's 95 here today and humid to the point it feels like you are swimming. The seedlings will have to wait.
