I have a girlfriend that planted Lamb's Ear a few years ago and now it has apparently taken over her flower beds.  She's tried to dig it up, pull it and she can't get rid of it.  Does anyone have a good idea on this one?  I told her to stay away from the Weed killer :) 

I've been neglecting my favorite site... because I've been playing House Hunters. It's time to find a permenent residence down here in lovely Southern Indiana. I haven't look for a house in over 15 years and I think I'm better at it this go round :) But who looks for a house going into winter?

Summer is almost over and it's been a blur. I'm sitting here having my coffee and looking out the back window and my yard looks like a wasteland.

We've had our ups and downs and we're constant. When my dad died, she… Continue

I'm thinking about the 4th weekend. I had a good visit with the momma. She always comes down and I put her to work. We moved a brush pile that I use for the fire pit back behind the shed. This was a good thing. It got rid of a lot of bugs and mosquito's and made the back of the house look a lot better. We tore everthing out, put down some landscape fabric, stones and moved some of my potted plants over there. The area is totally transformed. I did have a moment at the Menard's when we went…
