I have just had the most fulfilling afternoons in our garden. Gorgeous weather, retying up young grevilleas, picking some passionfruit, taking cuttings from a ground cover, listening to Louis Armstrong ............... Bliss

The garden is our thoughts and actions. If we do regular weeding, plant in the right season, mulch, compost and water regularly, we will have a nice garden.

If we just let things go, any old thing can get in and take over. My mother has this awful privet. For about a month in summer, she has to move out when it flowers because of allergies. Now she has to spend a fortune to get it all removed.

Of course, when she removes it erosion can happen, so she will have to plant new things in its place.

Yes, but some do have a tendency to spread around too much manure, don't you think? It might make your petunias bloom and grow but it gets a bit on the nose for passers-by. Wink

Oh yes, but manure can be good for the garden. Personally, I'm a big fan of manure.

It's the noxious, poisonous weeds that need to be removed - the ones that suck the soil dry and take over the place.

These weeds are boring and repetitive. They are barren and produce no fruits or flowers. They offer nothing to the garden but monotonous, toxic bilge.

We must love these weeds and forgive them.

Forgiven, toxic weeds.

World’s top commercial weed killer linked to infertility: scientist

LifeSiteNews.com
May 11, 2011
The world’s top herbicide for decades has come under criticism after evidence surfaced suggesting that the chemical may be linked to infertility and miscarriage in animals, raising serious concerns about the possible effect on human consumers.
Glyphosate is the weed-killing ingredient introduced over 30 years ago by the multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto under the brand name Roundup. Monsanto also produces “Roundup Ready” corn, soybeans and cotton genetically engineered to withstand large doses of Roundup that would be deadly to normal plants.
But Dr. Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University and a well-known plant pathologist, wrote to both American and European officials earlier this year to express his concern over a newly-discovered, extremely small organism that has appeared in higher concentrations in conjunction with Roundup and Roundup Ready crops.

Monsanto's Roundup (TM) is a good case in point. This is why we need to treat these weeds with love and forgiveness in our hearts.

Us Poor Pines

"Once we stood tall and gangly, looking over the dale.
We speckled all below with our needles and seeds.
In the wind we whistled, little was above us.

Now we have been laid low, sawn off.
Our cones smashed on the ground, our needles a carpet.
Our carcasses lie dead, like whales on a beach.

We will not whistle again, our days are gone.
The sickly scent of our spiled sap hangs low.
We might rot in a garden, mulch under all."
