I declare war

Ted has a House
The House has a Garden
Therefore, Ted has a Garden!

Well in an ideal world maybe...but not in reality. The last time I checked I could not recognize my backyard anymore. Weeds were sprouting everywhere, especially those that came from neighboring plots of land. There are a few options available to settle this problem. 1) Hire someone to cut everything (but this won't solve the weed problem) 2) Spray weedkillers and kill off everything 3) Just tell everyone that, yes, a weed garden is exactly what I was aiming for. Option 3 looks good...

Until it hurts to walk around...

Yea, no joke. It hurts to do the laundry outside and it hurts to just walk around. There are many types of weeds, but the two most annoying ones both come from the Mimosa family - the ones with the leaves that close whenever you touch them. One of it is the normal mimosa plant you see everywhere, but apparently this one brought its mother along.

Above is the pic of the 'Momma-sa'...the leaves are in a different shape from the ones we normally see and they are also sensitive to touch. I've enlarged the area in the red circle below.

It has also grown so tall that it was getting dangerous to walk around - if you know what I mean. If somehow you decide to walk through my backyard without your pants and underwear on, it'll be like trying to shave your pubes with a broken wine bottle.

I guess the only way to get rid of this properly is to uproot it and destroy every thing. May have to consider another type of fence that is not so porous too...

Its gonna be a long war

So anyone free this Sunday for some gardening? Heheh...
