With all the rain we had, then the sun, then the rain again, the wild grass in my garden grew taller than me. We don’t have a lawn, we have gravel down instead, so the grass was in my garden. How it got there I have no idea, as I only plant flowers not grass.
I had been very busy, I didn’t have time to pull the grass out. When I finally had some time, I went out to the backyard. Yikes! I was standing beside the grass. It really was taller than me. It was like walking through a jungle, I was just hoping no wild animals or snakes that live in the real jungles wouldn’t jump out at me. I started pulling out the tall grass. Holy Cow, the roots took forever to pull out, and when they did come out I swear the roots were just as long as the grass was tall!
That will teach me to just close the door and ignore the overwhelming grass!
When the sun came out for a couple of days I pulled and I pulled. I only had Sundays to do this, but it got hot fast so I could only be out there for awhile. It seemed like it was never ending. Then it rained again for days. When I looked outside the grass had come back, and it looked like there was even more there. UGH!
I had no choice, on the days that it was sunny I started to go out to the garden in the morning before going to work.
That is pretty tiring. Getting up even earlier than usual, weeding for about an hour and a half, showering, changing clothes then going to work for 6-7 hours.
Now I finally have some help, which is great for me.
One thing scares me though, I think it might rain today, as I hear the thunder cracking, so when it’s sunny tomorrow, is there going to be more grass? And if so how much will there be, and how tall?
