I no likeee thistles. They hurt!! You have to go into them with a hazmat suit on to escape their wrath. :(
They are Canadian!!!! :eek: *spit* a curse on you thistles!
We do get them here, so, gosh, I'm sorry and apologize for all of Canada and any future Canadians. :D:D
True, you were a tad busy Addy.
Just be so happy that you don't even know what they are Susan. Horrid things
happy gardening all

Yeah-I'm with you-dense ground cover is supposed to crowd out weeds. Pachysandra is supposed to be very good at that, from my experience. We still have an odd leaf here and there of whatever it is that I had to eradicate. We're just trying to be super sleuths and tear them out as soon as we can spot them. I don't know if that will do anything to control it or not. I can't afford to replant pachysandra every year. :mad:
I've been getting holes in my irrigation this year. I don't know what is munching on the hose line, but it's beginning to get expensive to have the guy come back to repair the lines. I run it at 3 or 4AM, so I don't see leaks unless I turn it on during the day for some reason.
Very muggy here today. We got some rain though, so maybe tomorrow will be better.
Love,

Ha, Plan A on my war on the yard- I am going to allow the thistles to get tall, cut the top off, put a paper plate with a hole in the middle around it and then selectively poison the suckers:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p
What do you think? I think it may work without wiping out the pachysandra.
Atta girl! :D
Another way to try that is to take the core from either paper towels or toilet paper, slip it over the top and spray down into the tube. I've done that. Either method, with the size of your yard, that's going to take a lot of patience.:confused:
Bailey and I are sharing a cup of Rita's ice. It's melting faster than I can eat it and it's giving me brain freeze.:(
Ryan is coming down for Father's Day weekend. What are your plans?
Hugs,

We are having an annual charity event at work tonight; my boss gave me two free tickets. I never could go in years past as it was on a week night and Zoe needed her meds and drops. Kate and I are attending tonight and I have to tell you that I have been such a stay at homer at night for so long with Zoe that it feels weird planning to go to a night time party. But i am forcing myself out of the house;)
Tomorrow they open the pool so that is pool day work and Sunday morning we are all taking hubby out for breakfast.
Busy, busy.
I hope you enjoy your time with Ryan. I hope the weather cooperates!!!
Hi-I am having to wipe/clean Bailey's eyes multiple times daily. She has really been manufacturing that eye stuff that collects in the corners. Does anyone know if this is an indication of something wrong and should I run her by the vet?
Thanks.
Koko has the same thing, always has had it. I have changed foods, did not help. Do Bailey's eyes tear a lot or does she squint in the sun?
I've never noticed her squinting. She doesn't really tear much....it's just this goopy stuff that has recently markedly increased. I have to clean her eyes 2-3 times/day or it glops up and obscures her vision and bugs her. (Do you like my medical/technical terminology?) :D
Susan, is Bailey troubled by any other symptoms of allergies? My Peg definitely gets goopy (and red) eyes when her allergies are flaring...

I think that is Koko's problem as well -allergies- contrary to our ophthalmologist's theories.
