I was having people over last week for a jewelry thing & of course I've had NO time to pull weeds or put down mulch or silly stuff like that. And the sidewalk had been overtaken by the weeds. So I had to scramble & gave B-rad STRICT orders to spray round up on the weeds the weekend before I was having people over. Well, as B-rad likes to say, "I ALWAYS do what you ask me to do. I just may not do in the time frame you want in done in." Details, schmetails, right Brad?!
Ok-so it got to be the DAY BEFORE people were coming over & I was really breathing down his neck to spray the weeds & mow the yard. But B-rad knew Round up would take a week to kill the weeds. And no way, no how was that gonna work. So he consulted Brian (he does all the spraying for the farm crops.) He gave B-rad a special recipe to really knock the socks off those weeds. Of course we had all the ingredients at the barn because it's the same stuff he uses to spray the fields. (Do NOT ask me how when he sprays the weeds it doesn't kill the crops. It's like magic or something...)
And I will have to admit, I was truly amazed. Within an hour of him spraying, the weeds were already wilting & not looking too good. And I was happy! These pics are 6 days after the death spray. Good stuff, huh?!
But B-rad was in a hurry. And this poor, poor hosta is a casualty of war. The overspray must've gotten the edge.
But B-rad sprayed his elixir BEFORE he mowed the yard. Well, uhm, uh - he must've driven through some of the spray. Because throughout most of the yard now...there are tire tracks...
dead grass tire tracks...
And I think this is hilarious. B-rad? Not so much. He's very picky about the yard. He will not allow me to mow with the zero turn because, "you leave little sections of grass standing because you don't turn it sharp enough!" He also 'rotates' the way he mows every time. One time he goes side to side. The next time it's diagonal. Then he goes long ways... I figure we live in the middle of a freakin' field. Who cares what our yard looks like?!
I don't know when or if the grass will recover. But in the meantime, I will laugh to myself everytime I pull down the driveway & see the dead tracks in the yard.
