Now You See It. Now You Don’t

I like to start all blogs with a pretty picture. I think the front garden looks very good right now.

Jesse (my favorite son) said I’m wasting my time; I can never defeat the forest. I know he’s right. It will always live to fight another day, but I can make it retreat for awhile.

Now You See It

Now You Don't

 I try and simply weed young samplings from the beds, but most of this is re-growth from stumps too large to be dug out. I’m not going to spray anything and risk damage to all the lovely mountain laurel Mother Nature planted for me, so I cut everything down and paint the stumps with Bayer Advanced Brush Killer Plus. There are a lot of similar products; this one has 8.8% of the active ingredient Triclopyr, triethylamine salt. This product can be mixed with water and sprayed on anything you want to kill, or used full strength and painted on fresh cut stumps. (Always read the instructions and follow all precautions.)

 I’m writing about this now because summer is the best time to do this work, followed by fall, which is second best. I used to do this in spring, because after a long fall and winter with unobstructed views, the new growth was extremely annoying and I felt it had to be removed immediately. But then I attended a fundraiser for Greengate School (it’s an excellent non-profit school specializing in helping children with dyslexia) and was the successful bidder on a lunch with Harvey Cotton, chief horticulturist and vice president at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. (Since I knew Donna wanted the lunch also, my strategy was to bid up the price on the quilt, but let her have it at the last minute. Then she would be tapped out when it came to bidding on lunch with Harvey. All’s fair in love and charity auctions!!) I came to lunch with 2 pages of questions, and this was one of them. Now, I no longer waste my time doing this in spring, and I don’t want any of my blog readers to waste their time either. (Speaking of blog readers, thank you for reading my blog!!)
