Add to that 2 large black walnuts (Juglans nigra)and you can imagine the challenge.

Aside from everything else, the flowers STINK.<br /><br />Patsy,<br />I love dandelions too! I'm even trying to grow pink ones...<br /><br />Dee,<br />Great meeting you as well! I love blue grasses, so I bet I would rave over your weed.<br /><br />Pam,<br />I know you didn't actually RAVE about them... I did take a little creative license :). I love the squirrel story. My sister-in-law is Taiwanese, and every time they visit the States, she wants to see opossums!<br /><br />Layanee,<br />I haven't planted the vernonia yet -- probably this weekend! It will be interesting to see how it performs!<br /><br />Elizabeth, Jean already said this, but yes, we were just a few houses down from your house.<br /><br />Zanthan,<br />I think purslane is a weed too -- but I also do enjoy eating it in the kitchen. But it is so prolific, there is never any need to plant it.<br /><br />Mrs. MD,<br />That is one of the worst things about them -- they go on getting mildew and tar spots and generally looking sickly, but refusing to actually die! Go ahead and take it down. You'll feel better!Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433418903218452909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24631933.post-4420501668117114692010-07-16T11:58:43.918-04:002010-07-16T11:58:43.918-04:00Eliz - yes, that was in front of your house.

I thought one might be nice in front of a contrasting bright-green foliage. But a whole street of the dark-leaved trees was kind of Addams Family-esque.<br /><br />Love the cartoon! I have no idea what would strike your fancy in Austin, but it's fair to guess that it would be something completely ordinary to my eyes. Remember those New Zealand bloggers I told you about, who went ga-ga taking pictures of squirrels when they were here? They don't have squirrels in N.Z., they sheepishly explained.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24631933.post-9008792586828918842010-07-16T08:53:38.934-04:002010-07-16T08:53:38.934-04:00It's so funny.

Oh yeah, we have this blue grass the garden writers raved about. It's a weed. I was just thinking the same type of thing as I was out watering the containers. How we've all learned from one another through blogging. It was great meeting you.~~DeeDee @ Red Dirt Ramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24631933.post-70036966550038243782010-07-16T08:51:03.551-04:002010-07-16T08:51:03.551-04:00I think those lovely yellow wildflowers are deligh...I think those lovely yellow wildflowers are delightful,and you can eat the spring greens in your salad.
