The Roundup Roundup

Good morning Gentle Readers.  In the interest of full disclosure, I'm going to show you pics of my ongoing battle with Bishop's Weed otherwise known as The Devil's Work:

Do you see those lovely brown patches of earth?  The dastardly weed once lived there.  In the background you can still see it growing abundantly.

Here it is slowly dying.

Die sucker!!!

I've decided to use the divide and conquer approach and just do a few specific areas at a time.

Lovely.

There has been some collateral damage but I expected that.  After all, that's the cost of doing war.  I think I'm actually winning on this.  I'm sure at least I've kept the Roundup company in business.

I'm Mad and I'm Not Going to Take It Anymore

For some time now, my garden has been growing this plant:

To say it is a prolific plant would be an understatement.  When we moved here around 15 years ago, I wanted to remove said plant from my garden.  There was just a little clump of the stuff. " Nay Nay!",   said the Dear Man, " It's a nice plant. "

After putting up with it for several years, I resolved to get rid of it.  The plant would not be gotten rid of.  I tore it out, I dug it out, I used super human strength to remove it. I used organic weed remover. The plant would not back down.  It just spread out and jumped around more and more.  This spring I said enough is enough and bought brought out the big guns.

Oh yeah.

Now gentle readers, you must know that I eat organically as much as possible, never buy a mix of anything, scratch bake, make my own bread, etc.  I could go on but I think you get the idea.  This is chemical free territory.  However, I'm at the end of my rope with this vile piece of green and I just had to do it.  I had to spray this bad boy from here to eternity.

 Do you see that browning on the leaves?  Yesssss!  Roundup works! I've used two bottles on this miserable excuse for a plant and I need more.  I'm not going to stop until that stuff is decimated for good. Please don't judge me, I just can't take it anymore.

On a more pleasant note, I leave you with some pictures of my beautiful lilacs:

They smell heavenly too.  Have a great weekend.

Cheers!
