And she wondered what the hell was wrong with them."<br /><br />Oh my gosh — so true! I hate weeding, most of the time. Especially the little things: I have red valerian that is lovely but spreads worse than dandelions. But I have to say, there is something weirdly satisfying about the big thing you get out of the ground; especially if it has a taproot. I love that POP you get when a taproot is wrested from the earth. I feel like I've conquered something. I will actually do hero-arms above my head sometimes, if nobody is looking.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187854108656107958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575209851731621303.post-29328809604349601292013-05-06T17:37:12.793-04:002013-05-06T17:37:12.793-04:00Thank you, Julia!

But the satisfaction of finally getting the picture, so worth it! Besides gardening is so much better than cleaning house, washing clothes or watching reruns despite the constant war with weeds!Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.com
