Since Moving Into this New (older) House....
Weeding has been a MAJOR job- still in the works...daily upkeep plus new areas of concern!!!
In the first weeks there was a bank of miniature bamboo and roses that needed work. I weeded and edged etc. etc.
Something growing caught my eye. I thought it looked familiar (because I read herb books) First of all it looked like a weed (it is) I plucked, but never could remove it all, because I wasn't certain.... I thought Mexican Epazote?
The second stand was DEFINITELY GRASS WEEDS but my grand-daughter Arielle and SIL, Bob, thought it looked cool! So I let it grow.
Yesterday, my daughter and I were sitting outside- I was laughing about the GRASS WEEDS- I said "if it were lemongrass I would be so happy!" I continued to say tomorrow I weed that area again.
THIS MORNING.... Ha- weeding- broke off a piece of the grass weed and ....(drum roll please) ta da! Lemongrass!!! and the other YES! EPAZOTE!!!
Thank you Gaia for providing me with a reminder that all can be well if we work on it!
Always cool to have the plants that we want around the yard. In the seven years we have lived at Nutwood, we are slowly making it ours and natures :o)
